At Strategos International, we believe people should be able to work, learn, worship, and receive care without fear. For more than 25 years, we've helped organizations turn that belief into action by preparing their people to recognize threats early and respond with confidence. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Independence, Missouri, Strategos has trained more than 600,000 people across 1,500+ organizations. We serve hospitals and health systems, K-12 districts and universities, corporations, houses of worship, law enforcement, and government agencies. What we do: • Training: On-site and e-learning programs in workplace violence prevention, Active Shooter Intruder Response (ASIR), behavioral threat awareness, and trauma-informed de-escalation built on our S.A.F.E. Approach. • Consulting: Threat and vulnerability assessments powered by FORTIFY®, our proprietary assessment platform, plus policy development, emergency planning, and security team development. • Protection: Executive protection, event security, facility protection, and security staffing. • Investigations: Internal theft, liability, and policy compliance investigations, surveillance, and expert witness resources for employers, attorneys, and insurers. Our team brings decades of law enforcement, military, and security experience. We teach through realistic, scenario-based training because skills that haven't been practiced under pressure rarely hold up when it counts. And we never lose sight of the people behind every plan: the nurse, the teacher, the greeter at the door. With offices in Missouri, Texas, and Florida, we serve clients nationwide.
