American Priority Project was founded by two career professionals — a board-certified safety expert and a retired state law enforcement lieutenant — who spent decades protecting people for a living before deciding to bring that same standard directly to schools, churches, and businesses.
Rather than build a company around generic checklists, we built it around the people who've actually done the work: commanding statewide emergency response, auditing facilities on five continents, and helping stop an active shooter incident before it happened. That's the standard every assessment is held to.
Every recommendation comes from people who've handled real incidents — not just studied them.
No two schools or businesses face the same risks, so no two of our plans look the same.
Our reports are built to withstand legal scrutiny, not just satisfy a compliance checkbox.
We stay engaged after the assessment — training, follow-up, and support as your organization evolves.
