Course Description
The Active Shooter Response Workup is a law enforcement-focused officer development package designed to improve an officer’s ability to respond to violent critical incidents, active shooter events, and mass casualty environments.
This course is taught by Keystone Dynamic Solutions instructors with active-duty military, veteran military, and law enforcement backgrounds. Instruction is delivered by personnel with real-world experience in CQB, firearms performance, tactical medicine, SWAT operations, and law enforcement response.
This is not a basic check-the-box course. The workup is designed to establish each officer’s baseline capability, provide focused instruction, and then measure improvement through scenario-based evaluations.
Officers will be trained and evaluated in:
- CQB / active shooter response
- Pistol and rifle performance shooting
- TECC / tactical medical response
- SIM/UTM scenario application
- Decision-making under stress
- Communication and team movement
- Casualty assessment and treatment
- Final evaluated active shooter scenario
The goal of this workup is to improve officer survivability, public safety, threat response, medical response, and overall performance during a violent critical incident.
Location: Morgantown West Virginia.

Why This Package Has Value
The Active Shooter Response Workup combines multiple critical officer skills into one structured training package. Instead of attending separate CQB, shooting, medical, and scenario courses, officers receive an integrated workup designed around real law enforcement response problems.
This package gives officers classroom instruction, hands-on repetitions, performance shooting, tactical medical training, force-on-force application, and scenario-based evaluation in one program.
For the price, officers are receiving far more than a single training day. They are receiving a complete development package built to improve their ability to respond, make decisions, stop a threat, render aid, and protect the public during a violent critical incident.
