Violence Response

Many organizations are in the position to help support the community in the event of a large scale act of violence (i.e. Columbine, Virginia Tech), or an act of violence against an individual that touches the entire community (i.e. publicized sexual assault, hate crime), but have not developed a plan to do so when an even occurs.  These programs are designed to help organizations in their community identify their assets and liabilities and put a plan in place so that if a crisis occurs the organization will be able to support the community that it serves.  These programs are usually designed for schools or religious organizations.

In addition to helping your organization respond to acts of violence, the PVPI can train members of your organization to use their skills and experiences to respond effectively to any crisis in the community.  To view a sample Crisis Response program click on the link below.
