“I have the responsibility for all State Buildings & personnel within two counties as well as the responsibility of leading our Special response teams. This training will aid in the training and information we disseminate to our partners & personnel.”

“In working with the general population daily, and consistently being surrounded by individuals seeking mental health services, this course will help me be more aware in my day-to-day job and help to keep me and my colleagues safe.”

“It was very helpful, especially to my work, where I interact with clients/ patients on a daily basis.”

“While I have years of experience in assessing situations, this course provided clear and concise instructions for helping establish a baseline in unfamiliar surroundings.”

“Situational awareness on-site is key, just some tools to help keep heads on a swivel and look out for each other.”

“My routine assignments require the observation of persons within my facility. By understanding a baseline and being able to articulate that baseline, I am better prepared to complete reports and investigations relative to my observations and deviations from our facility baseline.”

“Our mission is to reduce crime and improve the quality of life through a partnership with all citizens. After taking this course, I have learned tools and techniques to make me a better officer and a better trainer; which in turn will help keep our citizens safe from threats.”

“We use these techniques everyday, but many of us have never been able to articulate the "why" in what we see. This program gives us a way to describe and explain what took us years to observe. This is going to be fantastic for our new officers, who will have the fortune of learning this without having to wait for years to experience it.”

“This will help me to explain to SRO's, school admin and teachers on what to look for when assessing students with possible weapons or becoming a POI.”

“I oversee a number of individuals who must utilize video, and it will help me to communicate with them better. We use video recordings to investigate safety issues, and I feel I can better interpret the images on the video. Many of our people have to interact with the general public in the office and outside the office. This training allows me to communicate with them better on keeping themselves safe by recognizing hazards.”

“Our mission involves access control, incident response, cctv monitoring, investigations, violence deescalation, and inspections. The techniques provide a template for implementing the mission operations in a systemic manner which enhances efficiency and effectiveness. The systematization also helps diminish allegations of discrimination when security personnel execute their duties. “

“I work in a supportive housing program in a higher crime area, so it will be important to be more aware of what is going on in the building, walking to my car, and out in the field with any off-site individuals.”
