Our courses are taught by Todd Harmeson, an experienced public safety communications professional, and are designed to strengthen leadership, improve crisis response, and build confidence before, during, and after critical incidents.
Current Training Programs
Courses may be offered as open-enrollment programs or customized for businesses, government agencies, schools, public safety organizations, and community groups.

- Persuade someone to accept help
- Refer the individual to appropriate resources

- Improve confidence during difficult interactions
