TACTICAL AWARENESS

Tactical Awareness is a term for an extremely important, yet often neglected subject in the private security field: the recognition and response to “threat cues” – subtle signs of human aggression. While this is a commonly addressed topic in policing, most training programs in the private security field do not go into much detail in this subject matter; this is the reason the Tactical Awareness course was created and implemented.

For private security personnel and law enforcement officers, personal safety is the highest priority. The Tactical Awareness course teaches you both how to recognize threat cues that are often missed by the untrained eye, and tactics available to respond to these threat cues while maintaining personal safety. This course is available only to Royal Shadow Security staff and public law enforcement personnel.

Tactical awareness entails improving and sharpening your perception and sensitivity of elements and components in your immediate surroundings. Additionally, tactical or situational awareness implies comprehending the connotations and undertones of such environmental aspects and how these ecological constituents could bring about abrupt changes. When you’re suddenly face-to-face with a life-endangering situation, you feel more confident if you’re armed or carrying a weapon.

But when it comes to dealing with a potentially hostile and life-threatening scenario would have the same confidence level if you were unarmed? And this is exactly where Royal Shadow Security’s situational awareness course comes to your aid. Our tactical awareness course teaches you how to effectively deal with circumstances that not only put your life at risk but also those around you.
