AN ACT OF COURAGE. Countering an Active Shooter or a violent threat requires an act of courage. It takes a deliberate act of courage to immediately respond to the origin of an attack and it takes superior training to do so effectively. Dynamic Response Solutions is in the business of providing professional instruction for those who would answer that call.
