School safety training that prepares people—not just paperwork
Washington schools must run lockdown, shelter-in-place, and evacuation drills with documentation. Running a drill and running a good drill are not the same thing. FRTG designs trauma-informed, age-appropriate programs for private and public campuses across Pierce, King, and Thurston Counties.
Why schools choose FRTG
Trauma-informed drills that meet the moment—and the documentation
Lockdown drills should not rely on non-trauma-informed active shooter reenactments. Students and staff need clear roles, age-appropriate practice, and leadership that can document the cycle with confidence. FRTG helps you move from generic scripts to training built around your building and population.
- Drill design tied to your campus layout and existing safety plan
- Staff training that avoids gratuitous reenactment
- After-action review so each cycle improves
- Support for documentation-minded administrators and boards
Why schools call us
Private and parochial schools often move faster. Public districts may involve vendor lists and longer cycles—we can still help you prepare for that process. Reference points such as OSPI’s school safety resources can frame what districts are already expected to do—and how FRTG strengthens execution.
