No-nonsense and Straight-to-the-point

The Code Red Active Shooter training was perfect! It completely made sense to College staff and faculty members. The training is no-nonsense and straight-to-the-point from a law enforcement standpoint as well. I am having (Code Red Lockdown Training) on a regular basis to continue to assist in educating College staff members on common sense and survival tips during a shooter incident.

Preparing a Plan

Any Administrator that is in charge of Emergency Preparedness for their school site has a daunting task. Carla Holtzclaw was an incredible resource in assisting me with my Emergency Preparedness Plan for the school. Her team walked our entire staff of over 100 people through Code Red training…and assisted me in setting up an Incident Command System. She brought together our local Fire Department and Police Department, dramatically increasing the communication between them and our school. With her assistance, I became a leader in our district on Emergency Preparedness. I highly recommend her to any school, Elementary through High School to assist in keeping your school safe and prepared for emergencies.

Training for Emergencies

In 30 years of teaching, this was the first training that had the faculty's full attention. You were completely prepared and thoroughly organized. This is information we as teachers absolutely need. There were no questions left unanswered. It was evident that you had the full support and respect of the peace officer who was with you. As proof of the efficacy of the training, we've passed all of our Code Red Drills with flying colors!

Well Prepared

Thanks to Carla Holtzclaw and Code Red Associates our district employees are well-prepared for a lockdown emergency on any of our school campuses. Code Red Associates training is very thorough and Carla is sensitive to the emotional impact of the presentation on school staffs. The training is non-threatening and customized especially for school staff and students. We had a lockdown in one of our schools due to police activity on the campus and it was evident that the Code Red training works as staff and students immediately knew what to do and did it well.
