Workplace violence and active aggressor attacks remain an unfortunate and growing reality across all industries. Once believed to be events that only occurred in specific vulnerable environments, nearly half of all active shooter incidents now take place in business or public workplace settings. For employers, executives, and corporate security teams, the responsibility is twofold: build proactive systems that detect and deter threats before they emerge and ensure that the workforce is trained and prepared to initiate life-saving responses if an event occurs. These measures are as critical to employee welfare as fire protection or occupational safety programs.’s New York headquarters, ongoing threats to CDC personnel and facilities, and past school tragedies highlight the need for proactive planning, strong security posture, and well-trained personnel.
Centremis delivers comprehensive consulting, threat assessments, and response training programs designed to protect employees, students, faculty, and visitors. Our programs strengthen proactive detection, deterrence, and life-saving response protocols while helping organizations and school systems build cultures of preparedness and resilience.
Provide consulting, safety assessments, and response training services to corporations, government workplaces, and business facilities across all sectors. Our programs strengthen both preventive measures and reactive response capabilities to minimize harm from workplace violence and active aggressor incidents.

• Safety posture evaluations to identify vulnerabilities in physical security, emergency procedures, staff readiness, and operational practices.
• Physical and electronic security evaluations to identify risks affecting employee safety, executive protection, and campus safety.
• Tailored security recommendations to strengthen physical security controls, improve response protocols, and reduce risk during active threat scenarios.
• Workplace violence preparedness reviews of policies, threat reporting mechanisms, and response procedures.
• Faculty, staff, and employee training programs focused on active shooter response, situational awareness, and crisis decision-making.
• Hands-on workshops and tabletop exercises using realistic, scenario-based simulations to reinforce learning and build confidence.
• Red-cell testing and adversarial evaluations to validate existing security controls and response effectiveness.
• Coordination and analysis of law enforcement response capabilities relevant to the facility, campus, and surrounding area.
• Interviews with key personnel, leadership teams, administrators, and HR professionals to assess operational practices and risk awareness.
