Who We Are
Our Story
Founded in 2016 in Brea, CA American Tactical Defense, LLC began as a home invasion response training company with a passion for helping the community by empowering people to counter these criminal acts through reality-based scenario training. Over the years, we have transitioned to focusing on the larger threat of the active shooter safe schools active shooter training.
We used our shoot-house to test out all of the unarmed responses to an active shooter all companies and agencies had in their programs and discovered that none of those allowed for survival. After being shot numerous times with our non-lethal training ammunition, we created and tested other methods and finally created an easy-to-do unarmed response tactic that stops a shooter immediately while remaining free of being shot. In 2017 we began delivering our long-awaited passion project to schools as safety consultants.
In 2019, our safe schools training program was tested and proven in a real-life active shooter incident. Our previous trained teacher who transferred to Saugus H.S. utilized our training and saved not only 34 lives including a multiple gunshot victim, but saved her own life. Mission accomplished! Fast forward to the present, we remain the only program in the nation with a proven and successful program while striving to empower every school or business as our commitment to our customers and communities.
