SECURITY

De-Escalation Training

De-escalation training teaches security officers to slow down, create space, and use communication techniques to defuse a potentially dangerous situation. De-escalation training provides officers with strategies to calmly deal with people who are possibly experiencing mental and emotional crises.

A number of studies have shown that citizens based their perceptions of of security officers of their last encounter with an officer.
By practicing proper de-escalation techniques, individual security officers will reduce their chances of being assaulted, mitigated their risk of being sued, and become more effective at their job.

 Security officer's who develop proper de-escalation skills and techniques, apply them when appropriate, and mitigate the need to use force will see improved job performance and increase chances of being promoted.

As society continues to increase their expectations on security officers on security officers to posses almost extraordinary levels of professionalism, patience, and tolerance, security and law enforcement officers training that provides them verbal and physical tools to achieve these things, while simultaneously reducing the risk to the officer and those they serve.

What's Your Plan?

While there are no guarantees, having an established and practiced plan can greatly increase your odds of survival in an active shooter situation.

It is far better than doing absolutely nothing, which is what most people are doing right now.

If you think about it, we have a plan for almost every other kind of emergency we might face. We have a plan for the fire alarm goes off.

Why do so many people and organizations not have a plan when it comes to a gunman entering into a public center and opening fire?

What if it's not a gun the assailant is using?

We also cover this in our course as well. 

Many people simply don't want to to think about something so horrible because it makes them feel helpless. But you will see that there are many things you can do. You have many advantages that you don't even know about. 

Even a basic understanding and education in this area can save lives. By the time you have finished this course, you will have that basic understanding and education.

The succession of tragedies has prompted more and more for society to take special precautions, for the public safety, staff members, family and children.
