Both were a COMPLETE success. The community seminar brought the awareness and attention to this subject that we wanted and the assessment and training was awesome and very informative. We know you covered a lot of information in a very short time but the way it was presented was easy to follow and was well received. You have given us the foundation needed as well as the tools required to implement the plan that you will outline in the After Action Report. Your support after your visit has been awesome too. Your commitment to continue to work with us throughout the implementation process is appreciated.”

- Keith Shultz, PSE Inc.

“SAC Wiles will host an All-Hands Meeting tomorrow Tuesday, 10/06/2015, in the third floor training room, for all personnel in the Dallas Field Division, in order to provide training and general awareness on one of the disturbing issues facing our nation today, the issue of Active Shooters in workplaces, schools and public venues. SAC Wiles will introduce the nation’s leading expert and voice on Active Shooter Events, Mr. Chris Grollnek, who will provide an informative presentation on “Active Shooter Prevention.”

- James C. Kuykendall, A/ASAC II, Dallas Field Division

“Hello Chris, I’m the FBI’s program manager for active shooter situations and on the White House working group seeking ways to prevent gun violence. I wanted to drop you a note to let you know I thought your video was well done. You bring out many of the points that we’ve been stressing, and perhaps everyone has been stressing. I particularly like the way you were able to explain the aspects cut between video clips of the nuances of running and hiding. I am sure most people won’t hear all the points, but you did a good job of repeating the important ones.”

- KatherineW.Schweit,FBI Chief of Active Shooter Section

“Mr. Grollnek: Thank you so much for your presentation at Arlington CERT on Thursday night. I appreciate your insight and expertise on preventing and preparing for Active Shooters. I serve as the Training Lead for our Church Security team at Grace Community of Arlington.
