TV & Newspaper Coverage of TAC*ONE Consulting
Tac*One Consulting is often covered in the local Denver, CO media and also in newspapers and tv news reports throughout the US. Here is a sampling of some of the coverage of us and our active shooter, school faculty and civilian training.
April 2016
TAC*ONE Consulting has recently added an Active Shooter Response for CHP / CCW Holders Course. This is a law enforcement grade course for responsible citizens. In the light of recent events and lengthy consideration we feel the time is necessary to prepare people to responsibly and effectively save lives prior to the arrival of law enforcement within the first few moments of an active shooter incident.
