Welcome to All Hazard Concepts, the epicenter of expertise and real-world training for First Responders and military personnel. Nestled in the scenic landscapes of Tennessee, we represent the pinnacle of specialized training.

Our journey began with the vision and determination of our founders, Ed & Heather Ericson. After 25 years of service in Law Enforcement and as a training contractor, Ed’s unique approach to instruction quickly garnered attention. Before long, All Hazard Concepts transformed from a one-man venture into a premier institution for specialized training, all driven by demand and positive word of mouth.

But what truly sets us apart is our team. Each instructor at All Hazard Concepts is more than just a professional — they are esteemed experts in their domains. They come to us with accolades from involvement in landmark events like the Las Vegas Mass Shooting, multiple WMD Ricin events and the Boston Bombing. Their experience is diverse, encompassing leadership roles in eminent Fire and Law Enforcement agencies. From SWAT commanders and bomb technicians to HAZMAT specialists and seasoned detectives, our instructors hail from some of the most prestigious agencies in the United States.

In today’s dynamic and often difficult landscape, the threats of narcotics and active shooters loom large. At All Hazard Concepts, we are firmly committed to equipping local and government agencies with up-to-date tactics to detect, engage, and neutralize these threats effectively.
