2. Tap into Training
It’s not too late to sign up for educational courses!
The best never rest, and neither do threats. Whether you’re a Program Manager, Procurement Specialist, or end user, the key to success is staying ahead of the curve through continuous training. Our accredited courses are custom-tailored for different agencies. We cut out irrelevant details and focus on the scenarios you’re likely to face. All courses are delivered in a hands-on format by experts who have lived—and survived—what they teach.
Surviving Active Violence Events (SAVE)
With the increase in workplace violence, school shootings, and domestic terrorism across our nation, PFC created a course designed for participants to learn how to assess, react to, and survive rapidly unfolding active violence events.
