The time for reactive strategies is over. ASPIRE is reimagining everything about how we prepare for and prevent active shooter incidents—challenging conventional thinking with a revolutionary approach built on a powerful truth: these tragedies can be prevented before they occur.
ASPIRE (An Active Shooter Prevention Initiative) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by security professionals, law enforcement experts, and mental health specialists who believe that active shooter incidents are preventable—not inevitable. We unite security professionals, law enforcement, first responders, mental health experts, educators, and concerned citizens in an elite network committed to preventing active shooter incidents before they occur—not just responding to them.
Our comprehensive, prevention-first approach stands on four integrated pillars:

Our proprietary Survivability Index™—the most comprehensive active shooter prevention assessment available. Start with our complimentary 10-minute Quick Assessment for immediate insights or arrange a comprehensive 245-question evaluation to obtain a thorough prevention plan.

A tiered certification program (Progressive, Silver, Gold, Platinum) modeled after LEED, recognizing organizational excellence in comprehensive preparedness.

A prestigious membership community with masterclass-level education, mental health frameworks, and collaborative learning across sectors.
