Meet Rob

Rob Young | Instructor & Consultant

Rob Young was hired with KSL Inc, after a 19-year law enforcement career. Rob served his last seven years in law enforcement as a police sergeant in Northern California. During his career he served in different functions including patrol, hostage/crisis negotiation team, crime-scene investigator, school resource officer, crisis-intervention instructor, active-shooter response instructor, canine supervisor, and field-training supervisor. Rob has earned his Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) certificates.

Rob has a unique story, in which he survived one of the very first mass-school shootings in 1989. Rob was shot twice during that incident and was only in first grade at the time. Rob went on to not only become a police officer in his hometown, but he also gets invited to speak at conferences and other functions across the country. He uses his story to help inspire thought, resiliency, and a call for emergency preparedness. Outside of his duties at KSL, and because of his past experiences, Rob enjoys training law enforcement officers and civilians in the disciplines of active shooter response and tactical medicine.
