Stress, Fear & Response – Professional Security – Bouncer – Door Work – Security Management #31

Trained fighters who enter professional security, law enforcement and the military are often shocked when they feel fear or freeze up during an incident. One of the major reasons they are shocked is because they truly are tough as nails! They have been in numerous fights / competitions and thought that confrontation would be handled very simply.
Well, Tony Blauer once reminded a seminar group that MMA, Thai Boxing, Kick Boxing, Boxing, Jiu-jitsu Matches, etc. are not ‘REAL’ fights. Why? He reminded us that 'both' competitors have Consent, Awareness & Preparation time.
That is NOT what real survival conditions are for professional security, law enforcement and military personnel.
The reason our performance deteriorates in real word combat is most often because the bad guys got the drop on us. That means we’re all of the sudden in an unexpected & spontaneous fight for our life! Worse than that… is when the fight is expected… but we are afraid!
People are often told that humans in these situations do one of two things… fight or run. “Fight or Flight” is how it’s often taught. That is not the whole truth! Humans under threat will do one of three things: FREEZE, fight or flight! The time we are ‘frozen’ can be deadly for us.
I was taught that the 3 main variables of survival are:
  1. Threat recognition
  2. Time available to process the threat
  3. Time it takes to initiate your response
When we can:
  1. Recognize threats sooner
  2. Increase our time to actually process the threat
  3. Shorten the time it takes us to respond
... we increase our chances of survival and reduce the magnitude of the injuries we’ll incur during the fight.
Please attend training that addresses the above topics. Also, read books by people like Tony Blauer, Dave Grossman, Bruce Siddle, Ed Lovette & Dave Spaulding. These authors write & teach from serious experience!
Until next time, stay safe!

Can Workplace Violence Be Prevented By Psychological Testing

Having worked investigations involving workplace violence in corporate American and also sexual harassment / assault in both adult & juvenile corrections… I often hear people blame the company and or agency. They say things like shouldn’t the company/agency have psychologically tested the bad guy before hiring them? Or… if they did test them, people think the company/agency goofed up.

In my experience, it’s impossible to detect every psycho… harasser… violent person… criminal, etc. via testing. It’s impossible to prevent ALL incidents even with the very best testing strategies.
So why have a testing program? To REDUCE the # of incidents by filtering out as many potential bad guys as possible.

Remember, the purpose isn’t to REJECT every applicant who may have had a history of misconduct... but rather to calculate / predict the effect this person would have on the company if they are hired.

The three basic types of tests I’ve been exposed to are (1) Integrity tests (2) Skill and aptitude tests and (3) Personality inventories.

I recommend all employers use psychological test during the hiring process for two reasons. First, it reduces the probability of misconduct affecting the employees and/or company reputation. Second, if an incident does occur… the company legal team can show that they did everything within the scope of the law & within reason to prevent the hiring of the bad guy. Hopefully reducing or eliminating vicarious liability.

Until next time… stay safe! – Brian

Emergency Planning Basics - Security Management - Executive Protection - Casino and Nightclub Security

Too many security managers are hired without having any idea how to create Emergency Plans.
If this happened to you and you don't know where to begin, hopefully these tips will help! Remember, all plans should be in WRITING and should be frequently (quarterly) tested after being created.
Three Elements Of A Security Plan

1. Authority

2. Types Of Emergencies

 3. Plan Execution

Common Appendices:

1. Maps

2. Procedure Charts / Checklist
Give these to the front line staff / officers. Handing them SOP's & Polices are a horrible thing to have them refer to in an emergency.

3. Call Up Lists 4. Local Resource Lists 5. Mutual Aid Agreements 6. A Glossary Of Terms  

Hope that helps get you started in the right direction!

Here is a quick list to refer to when installing security fencing around a property!

1. Construct 2 layers of fencing, approx 15ft between them... for greatly improved security.

2. Maintain a minimum height of 7ft tall... not including the top guard.

3. Use a minimum of 9 gauge material.

4. Ensure the mesh openings are NOT larger than 2 inches.

5. Use twisted and barbed wire at the top and bottom.

6. Make sure bottom of fence has a gap no more than 2 inches from ground.

7. Ensure the fence is secure to strong metal or reinforced concrete posts.

8. If the ground is soft, bottom of fence should be buried enough to compensate for surface level changes.
