ASHER PROGRAM
DEVELOPMENT
ACTIVE SHOOTER HOSTILE EVENT RESPONSE PLANNING
Build an ASHER Program That Actually Works.
Public Advisors Group (PAG) delivers a fully integrated
ASHER Development Program in alignment with
National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA)® 3000 aligned
elements to translate planning into
real-world operational capability.
The Challenge
Most jurisdictions are not prepared for an Active Shooter Hostile Event Response incident.
Planning is fragmented.
Stakeholders operate in silos.
Facility-level planning is inconsistent or nonexistent.
Training is disconnected from real operational conditions.
There is currently no software, application, or integrated service available that enables a jurisdiction or organization to develop a multidisciplinary ASHER program aligned with NFPA 3000.
The PAG Solution
PAG delivers a complete, jurisdiction-wide ASHER program that integrates facility-level planning into a coordinated, operational system.
This approach connects stakeholders, facilities, and response functions into a unified framework that can be implemented, exercised, and sustained over time.
HOW IT WORKS
1. PROGRAM SCOPE AND STRUCTURE
PAG works with the Authority Having Jurisdiction to determine the geographic and operational scope, governance, critical facilities, authority, and sustainment model.
2. MULTIDISCIPLINARY COORDINATION
PAG convenes and integrates all stakeholders into a unified operational framework.
3. FACILITY ASSESSMENTS & PLANS
PAG conducts NFPA 3000-aligned assessments and develops facility-specific ASHER plans with all operational elements.
4. OPERATIONAL MAPPING & CONFIGURATION
PAG translates planning into real-world execution with mapped operational elements for each facility.
5. TRAINING & EXERCISES
PAG develops and implements a multidisciplinary training and exercise program with AARs and continuous improvement.
6. INDIVIDUAL ASHER RESPONSE TRAINING
PAG provides specialized kinetic and non-kinetic response training for individuals and teams.
7. POLICY & LEGISLATIVE ALIGNMENT
PAG assists jurisdictions with policy development, legislation, and alignment with NFPA 3000.
8. SUSTAINMENT & FUNDING
PAG ensures long-term program viability through assessments, updates, exercises, and grant support.
