About Threat Suppression®

Threat Suppression is an internationally recognized leader in safety and security consulting. From North America to Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, and the Caribbean, our personnel have provided training and consulting to public safety agencies, military organizations, educational institutions, healthcare systems, and critical infrastructure operators throughout the world. 

 

The cornerstone of our company is research. Every training program, exercise, and consulting project is built upon extensive scholarly research combined with real-world operational experience. Our flagship eight-hour course, Joint Public Safety Response to the Active Shooter/Active Assailant represents more than 50,000 hours of internal Threat Suppression research and cites more than 600 scholarly references. We are not only researchers of active assailant incidents, we are also responders. Our personnel have commanded and responded to active assailant attacks, terrorist incidents, and other complex critical events, allowing us to combine evidence-based research with operational experience.

Threat Suppression personnel continually research active assailant incidents, terrorism, civil unrest, fire-as-a-weapon attacks, behavioral threat assessment and management, house of worship security, targeted violence, and other emerging threats. Our company has provided training and consulting to some of the world's most elite military and counterterrorism organizations. You can learn more about our history of research and training HERE.

Threat Suppression is widely recognized for developing innovative public safety programs that address emerging threats before they become mainstream. We developed the first practical training program for law enforcement response to fire-as-a-weapon attacks in 2014. Today, our research in this area has been incorporated into programs at the Texas State University ALERRT Center and is referenced within National Fire Protection Association guidance. We also developed the first training program focused on integrating fire departments into civil unrest mobile field force operations and later introduced the Tactical Fire Company™ concept, integrating specially trained fire companies into SWAT and other high-risk law enforcement operations.

 

Many federal agencies rely upon the expertise provided by Threat Suppression. Our largest client is the United States Department of Defense, where we have provided integrated active assailant preparedness training to personnel at more than 50 military installations throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. Our personnel have also provided services for the U.S. Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Energy, Department of Education, the United States Attorney's Office, and numerous other federal agencies.

 

Because of our specialized capabilities, many of our federal contracts have been awarded through sole-source procurements. While many organizations provide active assailant and counterterrorism training, Threat Suppression combines extensive scholarly research with operational experience gained through responding to and commanding major critical incidents. The vast majority of our business comes through repeat clients and word-of-mouth recommendations, reflecting the long-term relationships we have built with agencies across the United States and around the world.
