Security Force Training
Active Defense for Active Threats
Security personnel are trained to develop the skills to appropriately act and respond during any form of active threats or workplace violence incidents, including: identifying the facility’s strengths and weaknesses; proper tactical training; team communications and recovery. Most importantly, we script realistic training scenarios and drills customized to your facility that will assuredly provide the muscle memory and team cohesion in the case of an actual event.
We do not offer a check-the-box, or one and done, training curriculum. All training will be tailored around the clients’ requirements and desires. We offer quarterly, bi-annually or annual training that will build upon your security team’s previous training. After each training event, the company will receive a thorough summary of all training completed, along with lessons learned and a video presentation of the training scenarios and drills that the client keeps. Furthermore, RHF will provide a comprehensive review of the company’s countermeasures and offer our recommendations to make your facility a harder target.
Civilian Personnel Training
Run-Hide-Fight
Unarmed civilian personnel are also trained to develop the skills to appropriately act and respond during any form of active threats or workplace violence incidents. In this case, the skills are these: identifying the paths of escape before an incident occurs; planning for securing spaces to block the threat; prepositioning items that can be used for physical defense. These are all things that personnel should be thinking about long before any event occurs.
Training programs of this type usually list a series of measures or recommendations, using a generic site. Not us. We again train to the specific facility itself. We scout the plant and offer suggestions on pathways and securing areas. We provide an edited video, utilizing staff on-site, that show how personnel might find pathways to safety in their own buildings. This video is given to the client to use for future briefings.
In our experience, the impact of this approach is huge as it makes a deeper impression on staff than the one-and-done generic annual video presentation. It provokes thought and discussion that inherently promotes clear thinking and effective action in a crisis.
