Why Threat Suppression
Threat Suppression was founded in 2012 to help public safety agencies prepare for, respond to, and recover from complex critical incidents. Our personnel bring extensive operational experience in law enforcement, emergency medical services, fire service, 9-1-1 communications, emergency management, behavioral threat assessment and management, forensic psychiatry, campus safety, and critical infrastructure protection. Collectively, our staff represent more than 500 years of public safety service and have responded to more than 500,000 emergency incidents. This operational experience provides practical insight that cannot be learned solely through research or classroom instruction.
One of Threat Suppression's greatest strengths is our multidisciplinary approach. Most of our personnel have served in two or more public safety disciplines, and several have built careers across three or more disciplines. This breadth of experience allows our team to understand complex incidents from multiple operational perspectives and develop solutions that improve coordination among responding agencies.
Since our inception, Threat Suppression personnel have directly assisted more than 1,000 public safety agencies and trained personnel from more than 5,000 agencies throughout the United States and internationally. Our experience supporting agencies of all sizes enables us to identify proven practices, common operational challenges, and practical solutions that can be adapted to local needs. As a result of this experience, federal agencies have repeatedly selected Threat Suppression to develop training programs and provide subject matter expertise for first responders.
Operational experience is only part of our approach. Every course, exercise, assessment, and consulting project is built upon extensive research and analysis. Our personnel have devoted thousands of hours to studying active assailant incidents, targeted violence, emergency response, behavioral threat assessment and management, critical infrastructure protection, and post-incident recovery. We believe that effective public safety solutions require both real-world operational experience and evidence-based research.
Because of our specialized capabilities and experience, Threat Suppression has frequently been selected through sole-source procurements by government agencies seeking expertise in highly specialized areas of public safety. These procurements reflect the unique qualifications and experience our personnel bring to complex training, consulting, and assessment projects.
The majority of our business comes through repeat clients and referrals from agencies we have previously served. We believe that lasting client relationships are the strongest measure of the quality and value of our work. We invite you to explore the training, consulting, exercise, and assessment services offered by Threat Suppression.
