Peaceman Consulting specializes in workplace security programming. In light of recent commercial robberies in rural areas, and the rising incidents of workplace violence, staff should be trained to safely manage threats encountered while at the workplace. Such conflict can come via a robbery, from a disgruntled customer or from an internal staff conflict.

We discuss robbery awareness and how to maximize the impact of the witness information, and different strategies to respond to an active threat on the premises.
