Report Writing: A good report is one that enables any person to reconstruct the events exactly as they occurred. The report contains all of the essential facts so that a party who was not at the scene can understand exactly what happened. Reports must be factual, clear, concise, complete, and objective. These classes are specifically geared towards private security or law enforcement, however, any person can benefit from learning how to write objective reports and recount events in a way that will provide the most accurate information to a third party. This would come in handy when having witnessed an accident or needing to make a statement to police or a court of law.

Force Continuum / Use of Force: The concept of a force continuum has been around for years and is still taught at most police academies. The force continuum is broken down into six broad levels. Each level is designed to have an elastic factor as the need for force changes during an incident. The force level should always be appropriate for the circumstances and adjust up and down as the situation requires. During these trainings participants will be confronted with different situations requiring different levels of force. That way the participants will not only learn the application of the different kinds of force but also gain experience in adjusting to the fluidity of a given situation and to switch between levels of force. The learned skills will be practiced through stress based scenarios.

Crowd control and Event security: These classes address a skill set all private security will benefits from. Security personnel will often encounter crowds durning their daly duties. Usually these crowds will be well behaved, such as in a shopping mall, school, church, or athletic event.

In this group of classes participants will learn different skills and strategies to control crowds and protect individuals from harm.
