Welcome to Defense By Design
On any given day you may read headlines and news stories involving domestic violence,
abduction, home invasion, rape, molestation and murder. Many times the victims knew their attackers yet this knowledge failed as a deterrent. Co-workers or former employees going on a rampage, students or parents attacking a school, neighbors or trusted friends of the family sexually assaulting young victims are all stories of the day.
How many of these scenes, scenarios and news stories could have been avoided if only the victimized parties involved had been given some type of preventative training to spot the early signs of danger or had known how to react when faced with immediate physical threat? Perhaps most.
Businesses, schools, churches and various non-profit agencies are becoming increasingly involved in litigation where professional negligence has been proven by placing employees, residents, volunteers, students, etc. "in harm's way" by not offering such training. We have all learned that mere background checks do not work. The legal
profession is successfully nullifying this as a common defense. "Comprehensive training" is what the legal profession as well as patrons and parents are calling for. This is where we can help.
