Landing the Plane: From Pre-Assault to Calling Counsel

An introduction to Reality Based Training…

Objective: The goal of this course is to help the student to identify and respond to emergent threatening behavior by unknown persons in places that support violent criminal acts.

Key information and skills:

  • The victim selection process and how to stay out of it.
  • Categories of pre-assault indicators and how to recognize them.
  • How to maintain distance and buy yourself time.
  • How to use your words without falling into dialogue.
  • Ask, Tell, Make as it applies to civilians.
  • When to “Go First” and what to do.

We will utilize role play and scenarios to give participants the opportunity to practice a safer way of interacting with unknown persons. Our focus is on appropriate, authentic, and believable responses to realistic encroachment problems. Our role play will include contacting authorities for help, interacting with help when it arrives, and who to call in the aftermath.

Equipment will be provided. There is no live fire or hard contact during this course.
