Active shooter mass killings have become a horrible reality in our society and no place is immune to them.
In this book, Michael Julian shares how essential the appropriate actions you take in the first ten minutes of an active shooting can be for your survival. How every second counts to stay alive.
Julian provides simple tools to help you in the event you find yourself in this type of scenario. He teaches you how to prepare yourself using a security mindset, and fight through your fear with a survival mindset so you can evaluate your situation and react appropriately.
Specifically, Julian shows you how to:
- Become more aware of your surroundings,
- Prepare for such an event by being "proactively reactionary",
- Evaluate an active shooter situation more quickly and efficiently,
- Decide and take the best action necessary for your survival,
- Dominate the attacker, if necessary, using a kill or be killed mentality,
- Navigate the chaos that comes after the event, and
- Train family, friends, and coworkers how to do the same.
Julian's insight helps you prepare for the worst. This alone could be the difference between life and death in the face of a horrific experience.
About the Author: Michael Julian, CPI, PPS, CSP, has made a career of providing private investigation and security services since the mid 1980's. A licensed private investigator and security company owner in multiple states, Julian is trained in asset and executive protection, behavioral threat assessment of active shooters, covert protection, aviation security, surveillance and surveillance detection, and more.
In 1967, Julian's first important mentor, his father Ron Julian, founded their company, National Business Investigations (NBI). Thirty years later, he took over his father's role, expanding NBI to provide security services for individuals, events, communities, and businesses. Thus, MPS Security & Protection was born.
In 2015, Julian, who serves on the board of directors for the National Association for Missing and Exploited Children and has held leadership positions with several industry associations including the California Association of Licensed Investigators and World Association of Detectives, created the ALIVE active-shooter survival program and now teaches it to individuals and organizations across the United States.
