Effective De-escalation Tips

2021-01-02T06:33:20+00:00

At times our culture can seem confrontational from all perspectives. How we respond to a situation will dictate our continued course to aggression or the calling of a truce to move in our different directions. A ceasefire does not necessitate an understanding but provides a parting of ways to avoid a harmful confrontation.

Welcome to Synergistic

2020-07-07T20:32:30+00:00

I want to welcome you to a new concept in providing protective training and our new web presence. After spending over thirty years in the industry, both in the private and government sectors, I decided we need a better way to share the knowledge of many vs. the viewpoint of few.  We all come to wherever we are from different backgrounds and experiences, and the same is true for instructors who share their knowledge.
