When former police tactical trainer Paul Eckert used to drill officers on responding to active shooters, he hammered them with one big takeaway:
The human brain tends to function worse under real-life fear and extreme stress than it might during an emergency drill.
Eckert took his own observations and ideas on how panic and fear affect decision-making and turned them into a technology designed to reduce confusion in the heat of a sudden, violent event such as a mass shooting.
Or a fire, industrial explosion or chemical spill.
Working out of the Whitewater Innovation Center, Eckert has spent the past few years creating Safepro Technologies.
