The ALIVE Active Shooter Survival Program is a comprehensive training system designed to prepare individuals to recognize warning signs, respond decisively during active shooter incidents, and increase their chances of survival. ALIVE, which stands for Assess, Leave, Impede, Violence, and Expose, offers a structured approach that empowers people to take control in high-stress situations. Unlike passive models that focus solely on lockdown procedures, ALIVE teaches proactive decision-making, situational awareness, and practical defensive tactics that can be applied in any setting—workplaces, schools, public venues, or houses of worship.
Developed by safety expert Michael Julian, the ALIVE program combines psychological readiness with tactical response training, helping participants overcome fear and act with confidence during an emergency. Through engaging presentations, realistic scenarios, and evidence-based strategies, ALIVE equips individuals and organizations with the tools needed to save lives. This training not only improves personal preparedness but also strengthens the overall security posture of any group or facility.
Damian, the lead instructor at 234 Training, brings a wealth of real-world experience to every session. As a U.S. military veteran and seasoned law enforcement professional, he has spent years responding to high-risk situations and training others to do the same. Damian is a certified ALIVE Active Shooter Survival Program instructor, combining his tactical background with proven ALIVE strategies to deliver training that is both practical and empowering. His unique perspective ensures that participants not only understand the principles of the ALIVE program but also gain the confidence to apply them effectively in real-life emergencies.
