Use of Force
Force Options present a vital call to action, guiding us to assess the necessity of using force in challenging situations. This is particularly crucial when it comes to restrictive interventions. The Call to Action empowers us to critically evaluate whether security staff are initiating physical contact or responding to imminent and immediate threats. By clarifying these parameters, we can significantly reduce uncertainty among staff and enhance accountability. Embracing this approach promotes safety and fosters a culture of responsibility and vigilance. Let’s prioritize this imperative so that our responses are acceptable, ethical and just.
PHYSICAL RESTRAINTS
Restrictive safety interventions are essential, focusing on subject hold and control tactics designed to ensure the safety of everyone involved. The primary objective is to eliminate any potential physical harm or threat—not to enforce compliance.
The AVERT program offers comprehensive training in open-handed restraint techniques for both individual and team responses, alongside the use of mechanical restraints like handcuffs. Our approach is tailored to meet all your unique needs while covering crucial legal, ethical, and social considerations.
We empower your staff to make informed decisions by weighing the risks of action against the risks of inaction. With the right training, you significantly reduce the likelihood of liability while instilling confidence in your team, clients, and other departments. In challenging situations, it's reassuring to know that trained staff are ready to step in and uphold safety. Equip your team with the skills they need to protect themselves and others—because safety should never be compromised.
NON-RESTRICTIVE OPTIONS
Non-restrictive safety interventions leverage environmental control tactics to create secure environments. By utilizing strategies such as locking doors, effective ingress and egress protocols, crowd control, and threat containment, we can significantly enhance safety.
Does your staff possess the expertise to implement a lock-down process that successfully isolates a potential threat? Is your approach strictly hands-off or hands-on, leaving limited options in between? Embracing non-restrictive responses empowers organizations to foster positive outcomes while effectively minimizing the likelihood of ongoing risks or threats.
STRATAGIC PLANNING
Your team’s approach to verbal and non-restrictive strategies must be anchored in thorough strategic planning, consistent practice, and extensive drills. When worst-case scenarios emerge, having a clearly defined and pre-mapped response is vital. This is where a decisive Call to Action becomes essential.
High-quality training cultivates a shared language among team members, enhances decision-making, and deepens the understanding of specific Calls to Action that trigger well-prepared responses.
Too often, staff find themselves in situations where safety demands the calling in of additional personnel. Yet, a clear plan and shared objectives are absent. This heightens the risk of liability and staff injuries and undermines public trust in your establishment. We must prioritize training and planning now to ensure a safer, more effective response for everyone involved.
