Situational Awareness Training
It is preferable to identify and avoid adverse situations before they occur rather than to take corrective, post-event action. CEC’s Situational Awareness & Threat Preventions courses were designed for that purpose - to educate clients regarding the most likley adverse situations they may encounter, and to provide the most comprehensive and effective tool set from which to prevent such events from occurring.
Our Situational Awareness & Threat Prevention courses center on the individual, specifically on those areas of vulnerability that and individual is most likley to face during the course of what we refer to as the "Daily Life Cycle" as illistrated below.
Within each lifestyle component, CEC identifys and teaches clients how to avoid the most probable threats to personal safety, and moreover, how to share that information with important stakeholders in their lives.
It is important to remember that “Crimes of Opportunity” occur because we provide the opportunity, and additionally, that the best way to avoid becoming a victim is to acquire the situational awareness skills that will help keep you and your loved ones safe.
Most adverse events are not random occurrances, but rather situations that presented themselves due to an action, or a failure to act, on the part of the victum. Remember, when running from a lion, you need not run faster than the lion, just faster than those running with you! Our courses will help you become a "Hard Target" by teaching you how to avoid unnecessarily exposing yourself to "Crimes of Opportunity".
