BeAware
This course offers information about the concepts of situational awareness (SA) to better evaluate the potential risks around us. Techniques related to recalling important details and facts will be shared to improve the participant's ability to observe, react to, and report suspicious activity.

Countering Active Threat
The goal of this comprehensive training program developed for Jewish institutions is to provide participants with a better understanding of active threats, as well as—critically—potentially lifesaving response options.

Guardian
Guardians take personal responsibility for the safety and security of themselves, their families, and the community. Learn skillsets that help you identify, protect, and respond to all hazards, enabling you to become an Active Bystander in your community.

Stop the Bleed
A life-impacting event can occur anytime and anywhere, from a workplace to a commute. Loss of blood is one of the leading, preventable causes of loss of life. This training will equip participants with the knowledge to save lives. Developed in response to the call from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to improve the chances of survival during an active threat or another mass casualty event, this course teaches basic life-saving medical interventions, including a brief active threat presentation and methods to control severe bleeding, from wound identification and packing to tourniquet rationale and application.
