The movie is well done. Run, Hide, Fight, brings to light the past and current deficiencies, false sense of security, and truly traumatic reality of our children and teachers not being prepared for an active shooter. Furthermore, the fact that once faced with an active shooter no guidance has been given to our children or teachers. Some of you are saying that cannot be correct, they have to be told something. It is a sad truth, but it is true. Unless you believe fight for your life to be guidance.  

This is not only true for education, this is true for businesses, hospitals, worship centers, and even our military installations. All are operating under a false sense of security, or it won't happen to me mentality. They are operating without the knowledge of EXACTLY WHAT TO DO, HOW, WHEN, and WHY. Nor are they looking at gun violence from a holistic point of view. Risk/vulnerability assessments are not focused on an active threat assaulting a facility and the occupants. Reporting mechanisms are deficient. Escape and evasion is nonexistent and without contingencies. Conflict resolution, behavior detection, etc, is nonexistent.  Alert notifications are lack forethought and immediacy. 

VLOG: 

The L.I.V.E. Program was developed by Matt Estridge. Matt married together several areas of experience to create an unprecedented holistic program to address critical incidents and gun violence. Matt describes the combinations of his experience and God led epiphanies to be the catalyst for this remarkable program. Near to Matt and his wife’s heart are special needs and handicapped persons. He is the father of a special needs child and his grandfather was blind. This intimate understanding led Matt to create specific solutions for handicapped and special need persons in critical incidents. Matt says the combination of his counter-terrorism agent and U.S. Department of Homeland Security lead active shooter instructor experience, specific overseas missions in the middle-east, thirty-two plus years of mixed martial arts, being mentored by tier-one special operations' personnel, and his intimate knowledge of unconventional close quarter battle; are eclectic skills and knowledge that are not likely to be passionately studied by one person. The L.I.V.E. Program was created by this diverse knowledge and experience. 

The L.I.V.E. Program staff are special operations veterans, counter-terrorism agents, and federal agents. Specialized in the areas of critical incidents, strategy, active shooter, risk/vulnerability assessments, tactics, team building, and behavior recognition. The L.I.V.E. staff holds the highest certifications in their areas of expertise. Most importantly, is their professional experience and motto of leading by action.
