KGH is an organization developed by practitioners for practitioners across the homeland security, risk management, and critical infrastructure community enterprises, where experience always matters. We provide an analytical and operational advantage to decision makers in an increasingly complex world, literally from the classroom to the boardroom. We bring the element of common sense to all discussions related to security and preparedness, improving the speed and quality of decisions related to preparedness, prevention, and response capabilities before, during and after a crisis. We do this with a sense of grace, often absent in other programs and that means we have incorporated  life stories of actual responders, victims, and witnesses in our educational approach.  It brings both an authenticity and an opportunity to reinforce learning and confidence.

KGH is at the intersection of fear and fact, a place we have navigated to after training thousands of individuals across the U.S. and Her Territories. We learned that there are a number of universal truths supported by evidence-based research of active shooter events from 1966-present.  These include a compelling need for enhanced awareness of behavioral indicators, an acceptance that bad things do happen to good people, which dispels the notion that absent a plan, an otherwise completely capable workforce is ready and able to respond to an active threat.  

We also have developed an approach to preparedness education at the community level to enable citizens to have the knowledge of what to do and how to do it should an ordinary day turn into an extraordinary day because of a violent event or even, natural disaster.  Replacing fear with confidence and decisiveness is often the difference between becoming a victim, or being a survivor.  The Preparedness Without Paranoia (PWP®) approach is based on the premise that security sense is common sense, easy to understand, easy to implement and carry as a lifelong skill.
