Armed Robbery can impact an organisation at many levels (reputational, financial and of course the human impact). This program provides the key knowledge required to help target harden your premises to assist with robbery prevention and also to help best prepare your personnel for the physical and psychological elements of Armed robbery. The program covers each phase of a robbery (Pre, During and Post) and other elements covered include Pre-Incident Indicators and Response Methodologies.

Enhancing situational awareness is of key importance to keeping people safe and well. This training helps challenge current thought processes and habits to raise general awareness levels. Aggressive incidents are on the rise globally and through the provision of this training, your team will receive the additional skills and confidence required to better deal with the situations they face in both their work and personal life. We will also introduce principles currently employed by law enforcement, intelligence and military units to enhance situational and environmental awareness. Increased awareness directly translates to increased safety.

Conflict is part of our everyday life, but we aren’t often prepared to deal with it effectively. This program covers the identification of potentially escalating conflict and provides best practise tools (verbiage, body language adjustments, enhancing empathy, stance and positioning etc) to help de-escalate the situation. We also offer proven and easy to learn physical protection skills that are designed to assist learners with creating safe separation from aggressive parties and remove themselves from the situation. Through the enhancement of these interpersonal skills, attendee’s will be empowered to achieve more positive outcomes during conflict situations and will have improved abilities to navigate conflict situations with more confidence. The program further helps provide attendees with the knowledge needed to better develop and maintain positive relationships as well as identify and effectively deal with difficult behaviours.

Regardless of what quality and level of security management plans and operating procedures are in place, people naturally gravitate to organisational culture – “the way things are done around here“. This program provides skills on how to better align people’s actions with a correct security culture and the tangible benefits in doing so. A positive security culture involves people having an understanding of the risks they face in their activities and having the confidence and skills to be able to manage or mitigate those risks. Some of the key elements included are building organisational awareness, developing effective monitoring tools and developing a challenging culture. This program helps remove the often-noted elements of blame and fear with relation to security and helps broaden and deepen trust within an organisation.
