EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROTECTION PLAN

Due to the recent madness of our nation and the depletion of social structures, the need to have a predetermined plan in place for survival has never been more obvious. The E.R.P.P is a combination of stationary and mobile survival training during times of crises, for the entire family. This is not zombie warfare. It’s training that allows everyone to work together as one unit, to guarantee the survival of the family. We will work with you to identify the strengths and roles of the family, as well as, prepare a combative package that works around everyone’s talents and abilities. Please read my blog entitled, “Self-protection in the new normal -4th generation warfare. Click “Blogs”.

Training Elements in the E.R.P.P

  • Identify team talents

  • Weapons training and access (you choose the weapon)

  • Safe room

  • “Go Bags”

  • Rapid Team Combatives

  • Multiple attackers

  • Pregame for preparation

WORK SAFE

Work place violence covers a vast area of personalities, possibilities and a variety of variables; criminal against client, customer against agent, internal conflict, domestic violence and much more. Because of this, we have set up a system by which we can get to know your company's direct concerns. We have 3 different platforms for your company’s tailored needs. We have an education/lecture/consultation option. We have an Interactive option where participants get to participate and an Immersion option. The immersion is a full, 2 day work place safety protection plan. While the courses are a ready made platform of training materials, much of the specifics depend on the dynamics and demographics of the company and it’s needs. Contact us today so we discuss how to make your company WorkSafe.

DEFCON

Defensive engagements for counter offensive negotiations. The DEFCON programs are designed for the modern police/security officer. Public opinion on how police/security officer conduct their business is under ever growing scrutiny. Unfortunately, this scrutiny has today’s police/security officers feeling isolated and misunderstood about the complexity of their job. This can cause officers to hesitate during violent encounters leaving them, the public, and the subject at risk of injury or death. The DEFCON course addresses the issues facing today’s police/security officers without compromising their safety. Please contact us today and we will send you the DEFCON course outline so you can decide for your department.

Regardless of the type of interaction, Police and Security  are in constant negotiations at all times.

*We presently are scheduling 1 of our 3 tier supplemental 16 hour training module for all North West Indiana departments. Training will be at the Focus location in Cedar Lake.

Training may include:

Applied controls – Take downs, throws, foot sweeps, applied force application, extractions, handcuffing, crowd perception and in-fight weapons access.

Counter Violence app – A-symmetrical applied strikes, in cooperation with above stated applied controls, to immediately arrest (cease) aggressive and violent force. (Particulars regarding the A-symmetrical applied strikes to be discussed at pre-training.)

 

TAILORED

Tailored courses are normally done in a seminar platform. For instance, if you are a martial artist and wanted to improve in the area of reality based ground fighting. Or perhaps you wanted to work on specific scenario training. Maybe your a competition person who wants to get into mass attack or weapons. There are those who want help in developing certain ranges, like the clinch. Or, others want trapping that works with violence. Regardless of what your course of action or desire, Focus can help. Contact Michael today and set up introduction time so we can get you where you need to be, faster.
