Part 2 will cover how to react when prevention efforts have failed and you are involved in a workplace violence incident. We will address workplace violence incidents ranging from a irate customer or client to an Active Shooter Incident in a large building. The tactics we discuss will be geared towards allowing you to disengage from the situation safely and survive until law enforcement can arrive to address the situation. The presenter will also describe what to expect from law enforcement during a response to a workplace violence incident. Finally the presenter will address issues that may occur when out in the community. This training benefits all staff.
