Thanks, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

 What We Do:

  • We educate people regarding their personal safety through training and research.
  • We help organizations identify and protect their critical assets through a proprietary assessment. Based on outcomes, we help them develop protection plans for those assets.
  • We assess individuals who pose specific threats and based on those outcomes, provide mitigation planning.

 What Makes Us Different?

  1. Most businesses involved in personal safety rely on martial arts techniques and handgun training as their primary methods of education. Most businesses involved in asset protection rely on security guards and bodyguards as their primary methods of providing services. We view this approach as completely unacceptable; the equivalent of putting band-aids on a wound that requires surgery. Assault Prevention takes a holistic approach toward personal safety and asset protection. This requires, by definition, that a number of other factors are considered.
  2. Our primary goal with any student or client is to give them enough information, material and education to carry on independently long after their involvement with us.
  3. We guarantee your satisfaction with our services.
  4. We provide 2 years of educational support upon completion of any course, assessment or consultation.
  5. Our staff has real-life experience with real-world violence. We carefully screen any of our techniques and applications to insure they are effective in the real world.
  6. We certify our work, which reduces your liability.
  7. All of our services, training and assessments are rooted in a solid legal foundation.

 Online Hybrid Learning Experiences

These courses are specifically designed with your convenience in mind. The reason we call them a “hybrid” is because when you order the course, you receive a PDF curriculum or manual and as you work through it at your own pace, you will occasionally be directed to a password protected page on this website to view videos that accompany some of the lesson plans. Additionally, you will receive DVDs in the mail that clearly and simply demonstrate any physical techniques that are part of the course. 

The Basic Handgun Safety & Self Defense Course This course is certified by the Minnesota Bureau of Apprehension and qualifies for a Minnesota Permit To Carry a handgun. Because this course has a heavy emphasis on handgun self defense – it is not exclusively for Minnesota residents. Anyone considering a handgun purchase can benefit from this course. 

The Personal Protection Course Focus: mixed martial arts in the real-world. Every physical technique we teach is included in this course, with an emphasis on your legal authority and a proven Use of Force Model.

The Assault Prevention Course Focus: awareness, criminal psychology and behavior, victim characteristics & emergency techniques.

The Church Security Course Start to finish; step by step. What you need to consider and how to set up a church security program. Assault Prevention has been working with faith-based organizations for well over a decade; long before church shootings and security were a media sensation.  The reason we designed this hybrid online learning experience was to make it available to as many faith-based organizations as possible at an affordable price. Faith-based organizations consistently report this course is extremely valuable. Our objective is to provide you with sufficient information to continue training long after your involvement with us. We provide continuing educational support for 2 years.

Assessments

A Vulnerability Assessment will identify the critical assets of your organization and then uncover the vulnerabilities of those identified critical assets. Based on these discoveries, we provide mitigation planning to keep those assets safe. Completing a Vulnerability Assessment requires significant input from the client. When we conduct these assessments we consider the client a partner. Go to Vulnerability Assessments for more detailed information.

The Assault Prevention Residential Assessment is specifically designed to reduce the stress and anxiety that comes in the aftermath of victimization, and to prepare you with life-saving techniques for the lag-time between police notification and police arrival. Using proprietary methods, we gather relevant information and conduct a hands-on assessment of your residence and your living habits. We then recommend any adjustments you should consider to reduce the probability of forced entry into your residence and provide you with a personalized action plan to mitigate personal risk based on your assessment results and current research.

Violence Prediction Appraisal 

A Violence Prediction Appraisal will identify individuals who pose a specific risk or threat. These assessments are based on  violence and behavioral characteristics. Often, the probability of violence can be predicted. This niche area of study was developed by forensic psychologists and criminologists. Finding professionals who have significant  and practical experience in this arena is difficult, at best. From the stalker –  to the troubled employee –  to the emotionally unstable – we can help.

Public Speaking

We speak publicly at conferences and seminars. Although we can speak to a number of issues, we offer two primary presentations:

  • Predicting Violence: Threat Assessment & Risk Management. The focus is on behavioral and environmental clues any person or organization can use to evaluate potentially violent individuals. We use a multi-media format in this 3-hour seminar.
  • Personal Safety Seminar. This 1-2 hour swift moving presentation is a great perk for your conference attendees. The focus is on violent criminal characteristics and the most powerful self defense principles we know – which are all cognitive.
