The Threats To Be Concerned With



Two Types of Threats:

When it comes to talking about crime, conflict and violence, there are two simple threat categories: 

Threats from...

1. Strangers.
2. People You Know.


Stranger Danger!

When it comes to staying safe from strangers:

Keep Your Distance & Keep Moving – Don’t let them get too close,
stop or redirect you.

Say, ‘NO!’ – If a stranger approaches.

Yell ‘FIRE!’ – If you or someone else is in trouble.

Give Up Your Stuff – If someone has a weapon & wants to rob you.


If Stranger Approaches, or Tries to Stop You...

If you get approached by a stranger or if he tries to stop you...

Don’t let them isolate you! 

Do whatever it takes to NOT get taken down that dark alley, into that vehicle, into that back room… 

Do whatever you have to, to get away. Remember, the really bad stuff happens in secluded places. 

Don’t let them lie to you, threaten you or grab you to get you to go. Your chances get dramatically worse the more isolated you are. 

Attract Attention

Drawing attention to someone with ill intent usually stops them in their
tracks!

This method typically work live in person, on-line, texting or on the phone...

It works in all environments, Personal, Professional and Public! 

Remember, light dispels the dark! 

So rather than fighting the dark learn how to spread more light!!

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people simply do

The Shot Heard Around the World

Even though many could see where all of this division and hatred in our country was leading to, when we witness the actual violence, realty once again floods in and has a way of shattering the comfort of our complacency, if only until the next headline. Some may find all of this shocking, others may see it simply validating their own fears. Regardless, of your political views, we have to take into account what this level of violence can do not only to the former President and his family, but what does to the state of our entire Nation. Yesterday as news broke of former President Donald Trump being shot, I can’t say that I was entirely surprised. Saddened, but not surprised. Regardless of your political stance, this act of violence is a dark reminder of the dangerous consequences of a society steeped in hate and division. Our collective heartbreak should not be about politics, but about the division and hatred that fuels this erosion of our humanity. We live in a time where traditional

Cutting Through the Static

  Me and the crew at Venue 3 Two after a PeaceWalker Conflict Communication Workshop Remember in the old days when you used to listen to the radio on a road trip? No, not digital or streaming. I’m talking about old school FM radio. When you’re putting some miles on and crossing state lines. The radio stations you listen to don’t broadcast far enough for your entire trip, so you have to channel surf to find new channels as you move on down the road. You continue to push the search button until you hear a song in the genre that you want so you can lock in a desirable station for a spell. Sometimes you’re listening to a song you really like but the station is fading… The static starts feint, almost imperceptible, than grows in intensity to the degree that you can no longer ignore it. If you really like the song, you try to hang on as long as you can, listening to the tune through the white noise and times it cuts out completely, hoping to hear as much of the song as you can before the sta
