Welcome to First Line
Risk Management Consulting

You’ve found us because you are interested in creating an empowering collaborative process that is meant to minimize risk of a catastrophic event as well as appropriately respond to one. 

How can we build confidence in your safety?

Our workshops and presentations are designed and taught from a position of self-empowerment through thoughtful preparation, mostly using the SEL tools and language that you currently possess. 

Our training is designed for proper responses with intentional outcomes instead of reacting to an event and hoping for the positive outcome.

We train people and organizations on how to immediately initiate a recovery process that will get them back to what they were meant to be doing as soon as possible.

People shouldn’t have to work or learn in fear, and with the proper Preparation, Response, Recovery training much of that weight can be lifted from their shoulders.

About Us

First Line Risk Management was created with the collaboration of law enforcement, educators, and social scientists with the intent of reducing the risk of unwanted dangerous people accessing your organization.  

With the increasing number of attacks on schools and businesses, greater emphasis has been placed on how to react once an intruder is present and actively engaged. 

We believe that the first line of defense is preventing access to your organization.  We will teach you how to properly respond to an intruder, and how to recover if it becomes necessary.  But our primary goal is to empower you and your staff to prevent a catastrophic event from occurring with minimal danger to your people.

First Line Risk Management specializes in  training for camp and school safety that consists of presentation, workshop and site visits that include inspection and policy review.

  • Active shooter response training- Prepare, Respond, Recover
  • Critical response team training – Incident command training
  • Site assessment – Infrastructure review
  • Parent orientation – What to expect before and after
 
And more…

Our team consists of people who are passionate and experienced about education and safety.

Because of our brilliant team members and their previous positions, our experience pulls from multiple decades of high-ranking law enforcement work including Chief of Police, Attorney General Special Investigation, Commander of State Police and much more. Our various team members also include Ph.D. level educators in educational leadership and criminal justice with experience in K-12 education as well.
