- Programming your mind to see beyond normal conditioned expectations as it relates to potentially disruptive behaviour
- Identifying pre-assault indicators and non-verbal “behavioral posturing” prior to the threat
- Learning how to control your body’s physiological effects during confrontational situations in order to gain maximum control with a positive outcome
- Recognizing the importance of training employees/onsite staff on how to handle encounters professionally at our meetings and events, and at different venues
- If confronted with a shooter use these rules: Run-Hide-Fight
- Run: attempt to escape, evacuate whether others agree or not, leave behind belongings, helps others escape if possible and call 911
- Hide: lock or block the door, silence your cell phone, hide behind large objects and remain very quiet
- Fight (as a last resort, and only if your life is in danger!) Attempt to incapacitate the shooter, act with physical aggression, improvise weapons and commit to your actions
We sincerely hope these skills we learned are never needed, but it is a relief to know that public venues, planners and suppliers are being trained by people who are willing to take action to help save lives. We hope this information can help you.
