Active Armed Offender Training Australia
Unfortunately, we have seen a rise in incidents of workplace violence, including those involving weapons. Safety in the workplace is Resolution Education’s number one priority, which is why we have designed the Active Armed Offenders Training course.
This comprehensive course is designed to equip employees with the skills to effectively handle encounters with armed offenders. From understanding incidents to employing safety tactics and navigating post-incident procedures, we provide practical solutions to ensure participants feel confident and well-prepared.
While incidents involving weapons are rare, their potential impact is profound. By implementing efficient protocols through specialised training, employees are empowered to respond calmly and confidently in the face of danger. This ultimately creates a safer work environment for all.
Who Will Benefit from Active
Armed Offender Training?
This training is designed for employees who may encounter armed offenders in the workplace or who want to be prepared for such situations. This includes security personnel, managers, and frontline employees.
The organisations that are most at risk for armed offender incidents and would benefit from this training include financial institutions, retail businesses, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, government buildings, transportation hubs, and security and law enforcement agencies. These organisations often deal with large crowds, valuable assets, or contentious situations. This increases the likelihood of encountering dangerous individuals.
This training can be tailored to the unique needs of each organisation. This ensures participants receive practical solutions that can be implemented in their specific workplace environments.
