ONE COURSE COULD SAVE A LIFE! Possibly Your Own
Learn To Keep Yourself, Your Loved Ones, Or Those You Are Charged With Protecting,
SAFE, In This UNSETTLED WORLD
We live in an increasingly dangerous world. There are many reasons for this. Law enforcement usually arrives after the fact and is therefore incapable of protecting people a majority of the time. Movies, television and video games have played a role in desensitizing people to the real tragedy of and painful aftermath that follows violent crime. Abductions, beatings, robberies, rapes and murders happen around us daily. Virtually every victim of violent crime was caught unprepared and off guard. Victims obviously thought that it would not happen to them or they would have done things differently. We leave our homes for work or recreation; we send our children to school and off to college assuming someone in authority will be looking out for their safety. That attitude can and has often led to tragedy. Remember too, not all violent crime happens in high crime or impoverished areas. Heinous crimes happen every day in middle class and upscale neighborhoods. In truth… no one is really looking out for you or your children. Personal responsibility and preparedness on everyone’s part is essential in our increasingly dangerous world of terrorism and violent crime.
Security Personnel And Law Enforcement Are Statistically At Far Greater Risk Than The Average Person
The very nature of security personnel and law enforcement officer’s jobs, places them at greater risk. Providing protection for another person or for a facility can make the security professional a primary target. Making an arrest or traffic stop or serving a warrant all have their own inherent risks for law enforcement. Circumstances can quickly escalate to levels where the only person you can depend on to provide safety for yourself or someone you are responsible to protect, is you.
The SmartShield System™ of Personal Protection, is a practical and timely way to provide higher levels of safety and security for yourself and for those you love, and for the professional… those you are responsible to protect. This system does not rely on physical strength or size. No martial arts or special background is needed to effectively utilize this system. As well, training is can be scheduled in a 1, 2 or 3-day format depending on individual needs, so a long-term commitment is not required.

Psychology Of Protection:
State Of Mind – If you feel and/or act like a victim, your more likely will become one.
Stress Management – Stress causes both emotional and physiological changes to take place. These stress factors can inhibit or prevent you from responding appropriately. Stress management skills are essential. Methods of stress management as well as exercises to increase your stress management abilities are provided.
What to say or not say – How your attacker(s) perceives you can make a big difference. Know what statements and topics of conversation will help and which will be problematic.
Choosing course of action (Quickly) – The course of action (or non-action) that you select is important. Having the emotional and mental tools to make decisions quickly and commit to them is even more important.
Attacker’s State Of Mind – (e.g.: Fear, Instilling Fear, Dominance, Mentally Ill, Profit Motive, etc.) – Learn about the mindset of your potential attacker. By knowing the attacker’s mindset, you can avoid behaviors that elevate the attackers level of motivation to escalate the attack.
Evacuate – Safety Is Job #1 – Always have multiple Exit Strategies. Remove yourself (and others you are responsible for) from threat area ASAP. Let us show you ways to assess the situation and create opportunities for escape.
Threat Assessment – Perceived Threat V Actual Threat. Learn to distinguish between the two so that you can address the real and imminent danger.
De-escalation Of The Threat Level
- Physical, Verbal, Demeanor.
- When walking, be deliberate in your mannerism.
- Eye contact – Risks and benefits
- Never look at the ground or seem unaware of your surroundings. Look ahead.
- If someone says hello, smiles, waves, maintain the above.
- Don’t worry about seeming rude. You likely never see those people again. Your purpose is to get home safely.
Threat Level & Appropriate Response Level – Management & Survival levels of response. Your right to defend (General knowledge, not legal advice).
