Prevention & Awareness

Helping staff recognize suspicious and aggressive behavior early through situational awareness, identification of pre-incident indicators, and an understanding of how behavior changes under stress.

Preparedness & Control

Clear, practical planning for high-stress and active threat situations, including communication under pressure, emergency operations planning, rally points, and accountability — so teams know what to do when seconds matter.

Every engagement begins with conversation and assessment. Training is built through sit-down meetings, property evaluations, and a clear understanding of your priorities, creating a professional partnership focused on confidence, readiness, and long-term safety.
