When Violence Strikes at School, You CAN Be Prepared!

Schools are "soft" targets
for violence.

Your school must be ready to respond to violent events and emergencies.

But what should you do? How will you do it? Who can help you with planning, training, and implementation?

The FASTER program is your complete, ready-to-go solution.

Created by concerned parents, law enforcement, and nationally-recognized safety and medical experts, FASTER is a groundbreaking, nonprofit program that gives educators practical violence response training.

Using our grant program, classes can be provided at little to NO COST to your school district.
