In lieu of the recent events in Texas, I'd like to share this article from ASIS. Granted there isn't a one size fits all solution to every problem, but this school in Colorado took the time to listen, collaborate, and execute.

They have incorporated technology, studies of past and current events, and talked with parents and law enforcement to create a solution that helps safeguard our children.

Some key takeaways from this article: they have recorded announcements from their principal, which gives children a familiar voice during a stressful time as well as from an authority figure. They've incorporated a system that detects gunfire which is then relayed to law enforcement that tells them where shots occurred, how many, and if it's still in progress. When covid struck, they evaluated and adapted again due to having more than one point of entry, and they added more cameras.

Lastly, they incorporate drills that test their system. An officer will fire blanks from a weapon to activate the system, which tests not only the system but law enforcement response and the school response. They work to maintain a standard and don't allow complacency.

We need to have these discussions and we have to bring solutions to the table. Some frustrations from my previous Law Enforcement experience are that after we conducted drills, we would ask for feedback. Parents would say that we were scaring the children, that we shouldn't be doing the drills, and over time schools became complacent and stopped taking it seriously. Teachers would complain that the drills disrupted their teaching, which is a bad perspective to have. I'd rather be disrupted and learn how to protect children entrusted in my care than deal with a REAL disruption when an actual event happens.

Now, I agree it sucks that we have to do this training, but we owe it to our kids to protect them. School shootings aren't going away, so we have to prepare for them and train, train, train! I remember being in school and having to take cover under a desk for bomb and tornado drills. The threats during that time were different.

There are many discussions to be had and I feel this model is a start. Encourage, Collaborate, Execute.

Please share this article and start the conversation. We can accomplish more when we work together.

The Sheridan School District in Englewood, Colorado, needed more video surveillance, a newer public address system, and a sound detection system that could identify gunshots.

Mindset is everything, I once had a Drill Instructor tell me, "If you don't mind, it don't matter!"

Which in my mind over the years translates to if it's out of your control, let it go. If you can control it, then handle your business.

With the proper mindset, you'll avoid making excuses and find solutions, attack your goals, invest and bet on yourself.

I've been away from home the last 15 days working 7 days a week about 14 hours a day... then I invest time to my businesses, arranging meetings, creating partnerships, then I go workout, eat, shower, and sleep, repeat.

When you're passionate and want something bad enough, you'll find a way, if not you'll find an excuse. We don't make excuses here.

Work hard, stay the course, trust the process!

While listening to the Sentinel Mindset podcast today with Christian as their guest, Christian said something that I have been saying for years, however in a different way.

This quote is so true, so many people are quick to call themselves an EXPERT, although some think its holds some bit of prestige or achievement which it does, to a point.

Once you say you're an Expert, unfortunately you're telling the rest of us, I've learned everything and I'm at the top of the mountain. Sadly, these experts become outdated as they fail to continue to grow, they stunt their growth and stop learning.

Society continuously evolves every second of every day, therefore as professionals we must continuously evolve ourselves and grow. Just because you reached one mountain top, doesn't mean your done.

Look around you and you'll see the next tallest mountain.

Keep Going, Keep Growing, Stay Humble, Stay Hungry!

Shoutout to Axil for sending us these to product test. GS Extreme 2.0 are Bluetooth earbuds, noise isolation headphones, and electronic earmuffs all-in-one. So, we plan on testing these at the range and the gym to see how they perform. Check back later for the full review!

What an awesome gift from Luke Larson and Axon ( Taser International).

This will become a staple in the office, sitting down and playing Cribbage will be a requirement for in person meetings now, thanks to Luke and his inspirational thoughts on it.

Now to teach the Ops Manager (the Mrs.) how to play.

Thank you again, Luke! The pictures don't do this piece justice.

Got our first review back from the low-light familiarization course that we did yesterday for the Armed Women of America.

This is what it's all about, the student's experience.

Great time teaching and training with these guys yesterday.

We received some great feedback from the participants, looking forward to the next opportunity to teach with these guys again.

Thanks again for making the trip down Kenton and Jay!
