911 Consulting

About This Business

911 Consulting is a firm that specializes in emergency planning and preparedness for schools and businesses. According to Bo Mitchell, a representative of the company, it is crucial for organizations to have comprehensive emergency plans in place that cover all potential hazards, not just active shooter situations. This includes trainings that incorporate everyone associated with the school or business, such as employees, contractors, and cafeteria staff. Mitchell emphasizes that employers have a legal obligation to provide a safe working environment and that employees have the right to review their employer's emergency plan. He cites research from organizations like the Government Accountability Office and the National Association of School Resource Officers, which highlights the lack of preparedness in K-12 schools and businesses. Mitchell's expertise and the company's services aim to address this gap by providing guidance on developing effective emergency plans and conducting trainings that ensure all individuals are prepared to respond to various hazards. By working with 911 Consulting, schools and businesses can enhance their emergency preparedness and create a safer environment for their employees and stakeholders. The company's approach is centered around the principle that emergency plans should be all-encompassing, covering bomb threats, suspicious packages, bullying, and other potential hazards. With 911 Consulting's expertise, organizations can ensure they are well-prepared to respond to crises and minimize the risk of harm to their employees and assets. As Mitchell notes, 'for every one organization that is well-planned and trained and exercised, there are 10 that are not,' highlighting the need for comprehensive emergency planning and preparedness. By prioritizing emergency preparedness, schools and businesses can protect their employees, customers, and reputation, ultimately contributing to a safer and more resilient community.
