Refuse To Be A Victim® seminar

Limited seating. Date: to be announced. Cost: $35.00.

The seminar includes classroom instruction on a variety of crime prevention strategies, from criminal psychology to automobile crimes to cyber crime. This is not a firearms instruction course and does not include instruction in physical combat or self-defense. It teaches the common weaknesses criminals take advantage of and a range of corrective measures that are practical, inexpensive and easy to follow.

Strategies include home security, carjack avoidance, cyber safety and personal safety devices. A complete seminar can run up to eight hours; a modified seminar can be as short as 90 minutes on specific topics. In three to four hours you get the tools to build your own personal safety strategy.

Topics include

  • The psychology of the criminal mind and what criminals look for in a victim

  • Creating a safe room and a home protection plan

  • Situational awareness and avoidance techniques

  • Internet, cyber and phone safety

  • Carjack avoidance, automobile and travel security

  • Personal safety devices (tasers, stun guns, batons, pepper spray)

  • Home invasions, burglary, bump keys and the six-second garage door break-in

  • Interacting with the police, and what to do if you become a victim

  • Malls, parking garages, banking and ATM scams

  • Layers of defense: lighting, alarms, deadbolts, windows and security film

  • Mental preparedness and controlling fear

  • Workplace and personal security

Criminals prefer easy targets. By making yourself more difficult to prey upon, you lessen your risk of criminal attack. That means having a personal safety strategy in place before you need it. The program suits teenagers and up, men and women alike, and includes modules for parents, seniors and people with disabilities. Women-only seminars are available.
