“I will look for deviations and then assess if there is a threat. Good reminder to trust your gut, and pay attention to something not looking right”
“It's a great reminder to be more aware of surroundings and potential threats. Since leaving the military, I think I've been less alert in some ways. But now more than ever, we need to stay aware to stay safe!”
“This course will provide a baseline for my organization and improve communication on risks while allowing for similar terminology and methodology to be used.”
“I liked the explanations and examples that were more non-military than military. Often Tactical Jargon bogs down good clean explanations. Nice Job!!”
“This course has helped me to be more observant of the behavior of others. Which in turn will benefit my own safety (and the safety of others) and allow me to be better at my job.”

“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.”
“I am often watching people and their behavior and now have a better understanding of indicators that a person may be armed.”
“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.”
