The reality You Can't Ignore

Here'sa number that should get your attention:most active shooter incidents are over in under 10 minutes.That'sbefore law enforcement arrives. The FBI documented 223 active shooter incidents from 2020 to 2024 alone—a 70% increase from thepreviousfive-year period. And Coloradoisn'timmune. Whetheryou'reresponsible for a school district, hospital, church, or corporate facility, the questionisn'tifyou should prepare—it'show quickly you can get your team trained.

Summary

The Threat: 223 active shooter incidents (2020-2024). Most end before police arrive. Colorado has recorded incidents in recent years. 

The Problem: Generic "Run-Hide-Fight" videos don't build the muscle memory needed under stress. Your team needs hands-on, scenario-based training. 

The Solution: Pilum Tactical delivers veteran-led active shooter training for schools, hospitals, churches, and workplaces across Colorado. Force-on-force drills. TCCC medical response. Real preparation. 

The Action: Schedule your on-site consultation. We'll assess your facility and build a customized training program. 

Why Generic Training Falls Short

You've probably seen the "Run-Hide-Fight" videos. Maybe your team sat through a 30-minute online module and called it a day. But here's the problem: watching a video doesn't build muscle memory. When stress hits—and it hits hard during an active threat—people don't rise to their expectations. They fall to their level of training. 

That's not theory. It's what our instructors witnessed firsthand responding to actual active shooter incidents during their careers in law enforcement and military service. The difference between a prepared team and an unprepared one is scenario-based, hands-on training that programs real responses under realistic stress. 

If you're searching for active shooter training Denver or active shooter response training Colorado, you need more than a checkbox compliance course. You need training that actually works when it matters.

What Real Preparedness Looks Like

Pilum Tactical's active shooter scenario training isn't about scaring your staff. It's about empowering them with practical skills they can actually use. Our programs cover: 

  • Close quarters battle tactics—room clearing, doorway domination, hallway control 
  • Force-on-force airsoft training—realistic stress inoculation without live rounds 
  • Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC)—treating gunshot and knife wounds in the critical minutes before EMS arrives 
  • De-escalation protocols—handling mentally disturbed or irate individuals before situations escalate 
  • Decision-making under pressure—shoot/no-shoot scenarios using simulator-based training 

We deliver specialized programs for the environments that face the highest risks. Looking for active shooter drills for schools Colorado? We train administrators, teachers, and school security personnel on age-appropriate response strategies, lockdown procedures, and SRO coordination. Need active shooter training for hospitals Colorado? Our healthcare programs address the unique "duty-to-care" challenges, patient mobility considerations, and multi-unit response coordination that standard training ignores. 

We also work with churches, synagogues, mosques, corporate facilities, and security teams—each program customized to your facility's layout, your team's capabilities, and the specific threats you're most likely to face.

Stop Hoping. Start Preparing

The statistics are clear: active shooter incidents continue to threaten schools, workplaces, and public spaces across Colorado. But here's what the FBI data also shows—trained individuals who take action save lives. Three out of four active shooter incidents end before law enforcement arrives, which means the people already on-site determine the outcome. 

Your team can be passive victims or prepared responders. Pilum Tactical gives them the tools, tactics, and mindset to be the latter.

Why Train With Pilum Tactical

Veteran-Led, Law Enforcement-Informed Instruction Our instructors have responded to actual active shooter incidents. They bring real-world experience—not just certifications—to every training session. When they teach threat response, they're teaching what actually works under fire. 

Scenario-Based Training That Builds Muscle Memory We use force-on-force airsoft training, simulator-based shoot/no-shoot scenarios, and live tabletop exercises to create realistic stress. Your team won't just learn concepts—they'll practice responses until they become automatic. 

Customized to Your Environment A hospital faces different challenges than a school. A synagogue has different security considerations than a corporate office. We don't deliver cookie-cutter training. Every program is tailored to your specific facility, team, and threat profile. 

Integrated Medical Response Stop the Bleed certification and Tactical Combat Casualty Care are built into our programs. Because in the critical minutes before EMS arrives, the ability to control bleeding can be the difference between life and death.
