“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.”

“For the street office this is systematic way to heighten there awareness and provide them a tool to quickly establish norms for the event they are working. It also provides new skills for identifying threats even when not evaluating a larger venue but even in a 1 on 1 with a subject they may encounter.”

“Course techniques are relevant and useful for both on the job and off the job. I try to teach my family about situational awareness. This class add to my current level of knowledge.”

“In patrol operations, these are skills that will benefit all of us in identifying and explaining suspicious activity as well as keeping us safe.”

“The techniques are important to my mission because a lot of police work is speaking to people, reading people, reading body language and non-verbal cues. This course covered all but speaking to people.”

“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 believe the techniques will help create a faster "response" time in finding potential threats. First responders are often tasked with a chaotic interaction of both individuals and groups, and within today's society, with everyone gathering around to witness what is going on - this information will help them make a quicker assessment of their surroundings.”
