Benefits of a Best Defense Program: The Joint Commission’s Environment of Care standards require health care facilities to address and maintain a written plan describing how an institution provides for the security of patients, staff and visitors.

The Violence Triangle©
Our unique ”Violence Triangle” model simplifies understanding and responding to violence.. For years fire safety instructors have used the “Fire Triangle” to illustrate a simple, but important concept; for combustion to occur there must be three components, heat, oxygen and fuel. Remove any one and there’s no fire. That’s all the fire science theory most people will ever need.
The Violence Triangle illustrates the three sides of the triangle with Opportunity, Ability, and Intent. This simplifies the decision-making process, saving time and allowing better decision making. To be safe from violence just eliminate one element, using the strategies, tactics, and techniques provided in this training.
