Webinar: Recognizing Signs of Violence & De-Escalation

Recognizing Signs of Violence and De-Escalation skills are two of the most critically important skills in both prevention and survival. In fact, if there were only two things that I could give you for these purposes, these would be the two I would recommend focus on. While many think that we already possess these skills, this is far from reality. Police Officers spend a considerable amount of time learning and practicing these skills because they are primary factors in prevention. 

While there are numerous courses available that specialize in this type of training, many of those make the topic far more complicated than it really is or should be. We bring this topic to our students in a highly practical, effective, and engaging manner and provide remedies and resources for mastering these critical skills. We also strongly believe that de-escalation courses should not be taught without teaching recognizing signs of violence in addition. 

Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to:

1. Recognizing signs of violence so action can be taken before a threat is presented
2. Understand a threat better, be able to de-escalate certain situations, and provide tools for attendees to get better on their own
3. Differentiate between a “desperate aggressor” and a “professional aggressor”
