In today's society we have threats all around us. Most people are oblivious to the things going on around them, they only focus on what goes on 3 feet from them. Bad people use situational awareness to spot their new target, usually finding soft or easy prey to ensure success in their evil plot. We want to provide you the same skill sets as taught in the military and police so you can be a wolf and a less desired target. This course dives into what threats look for in a target, how they can tell, who is in your family, where you live, your behaviors, and if you are an easy target. Search on Google "Walmart, Van, Kidnapping, DFW" you will see it happens more than you think, this is one situation of many. At the end of the course, you will have the knowledge to be aware of your surroundings, know what constitutes a threat, how to not be a threat, human behaviors that are key indicators, and what to do if you feel there is a threat around you. The other pert of the course is about the Blue Campaign, Homeland Security's human trafficking awareness training. Most people have the wrong definition of human trafficking, it is more around us then most understand. We will discuss the true definition, key indicators, and how to initiate actions to bring people who exploit humans to justice. This is happening in our neighborhood, high schools, and businesses all around us. This class is for those who what to be embolden to ensure they are not victims, to strengthen the security of their families, and the neighborhood. Human trafficking is very real and can be sensitive to those who have been abused, so parents will need to make a decision if their teens should go, but it is a good course for older teens.

Texas Defense and Firearm Training, LLC. is now providing a course for ch the act was carried out.urches, businesses and schools about a threat no one wants to hear or see. However, the best way to counter a horrible threat like these is through sharing information, awareness, and building a proactive operational plan to counter this threat. This course is not to change a plan you may already have in place, this course is to bolster awareness and provide additional ideas to improve and guide your operational plan. This course gathered data from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security and dives into what constitutes an active shooter or a mass shooter. Going into the minds and behaviors of those who commit these crimes. In majority of these crimes, the reasons behind these horrific actions were very similar, in fact ever incident was even known by others before the act was carried out. So we address in this course how important it is to act on the tips we are given. Here are just some of the lesson topics in this course: 

Things many people do not know:

1. Mass shooters shoot once every 10 seconds on average

2. It takes 3 minutes to dial 911 and talk to dispatcher

3. It takes 1-2 additional minutes to send message to police officer

4. It takes additional 4-6 minutes, best scenario, for the officer to arrive on scene.

5. It takes 2-4 minutes for the officer to confront the mass shooter......

'Time is critical, waiting on the police can take too long. We need to find away to cut the response time

So not only is the mass shooter a threat, so is time. So, what is the only solution to limit the amount of victims? Having a good security team on site. However, a good security team is not just people that can hit targets at the range. A good security team requires each person to know their each other's strengths and weaknesses, to include the farthest they can shoot with a 100% hit rate. 

1. What have we learned about mass shooters?

2. Snapshot of Mass Shootings in the USA.

3. Police Response Times

4. What works and does not work as far as laws and plans
