Why Work with ITTC for Employee Active Assailant Training?
We Focus on Prevention and De-escalation First
We prioritize preventative measures and de-escalation techniques, placing hands-on tactics as a secondary option. Other programs can be more law enforcement-based, focusing on what to do when situations go completely wrong, and self-defense becomes necessary. While our programs ensure our trainees exhaust all nonviolent options first, to keep themselves and their colleagues safe. We emphasize that non-escalation tactics be employed when interacting with a challenging individual, but other programs only offer tactics after a situation becomes unmanageable. Violent measures should always be a last resort when non-escalation and de-escalation tactics are not enough. But if that situation arises, your employees will also be trained on how to defend themselves in any active assailant situation, including active shooter response training.
We Have Niche Experience in Healthcare, Hospital, and Office Settings
We have been exclusively dedicated to the hospital and office workers, tailoring our training to hyper-relevant experiences. Other programs provide more generic training that may not be as relevant to the unique challenges faced in hospital and office settings. We also offer varied ways to take our workplace violence training courses, from on-site courses to eLearning. We want to make it easy and engaging for your employees to learn active assailant training and active shooter preparedness.
We Have Field Experience
Our trainers include martial artists, police officers, police department staff, and hospital staff, ensuring up-to-date and practical training methods. We employ trainers and workers who understand how our training would work in the real world.
