In today’s world, schools must be prepared to respond swiftly and confidently to acts of violence or threats on campus. Knowledge Saves Lives offers a comprehensive, site-specific lockdown training that equips school staff with the tools and confidence they need to manage real-time emergencies. Led by a team of instructors with extensive experience in law enforcement, military, and emergency services—including the California Highway Patrol and FBI task forces—this training brings practical, field-tested strategies directly to your school site. The course follows California’s SB 553 compliance standards and has been adopted by hundreds of school districts, colleges, public agencies, and faith-based organizations across the state.​

 

KSL’s program is tailored to the actual layout and operational flow of your campus. Participants engage in interactive lectures, guided walk-throughs, scenario-based roleplay, and a timed live drill—learning how to respond to workplace violence, recognize threats early, and use improvised defensive tools like fire extinguishers. Scenarios take place in realistic environments such as classrooms and administrative offices, reinforcing site-specific responses. KSL provides all necessary equipment and instructional materials, along with a full after-action report featuring participant feedback and recommendations. With flexible 2, 3, or 4-hour formats and groups of up to 125 participants, this program delivers high-impact training that transforms theory into confident, real-world readiness.
