Enhancing the Survival Mindset

These courses are geared towards the female civilian to better prepare them for a threatening encounter. 

Enhancing the Survival Mindset - Level I will start in the classroom where you will receive lecture and Q & A on crime statistics, situational awareness, and survival mindset.  From there you will move into hands on training to introduce defensive tactic techniques that will contribute to your survival "when" you are ever attacked.  Finally, you will be rotated through several realistic scenes where you will face different threats.  Your survival mindset will determine the outcome of these scenarios.

Enhancing the Survival Mindset - Level II is the next step in the reinforcement and development of the survival mindset.  You will be exposed to approximately six new scenarios that will enhance your schemas for real life survival. 

Note: Completion of Enhancing the Survival Mindset - Level I is required before taking Level II. 

Each course costs $50 to attend.  Both courses are taught by veteran Defensive Tactics Instructors from the Spokane Police Department.  A background check will be completed on non-commissioned personnel prior to attendance.

Violence Prevention in the Workplace 

The Spokane Police Academy also offers a Violence Prevention in the Workplace course that can be taught at your workplace or business.  This course is a seminar on preventing violence in the workplace and appropriate response to violence in our personal lives.  The class examines different workplace violence events and how they were resolved.  We will also explore limitations that we (society) place on ourselves that limit our ability to recognize and prevent violence, and take appropriate action when violence occurs. 

The course is facilitated by veteran Police Officers with the Spokane Police Department who have tactical experience in both active shooter and hostage type situations.  The instructors can also make suggestions for improvements to the physical security of your work or business.

To hold a seminar for your employees, contact Ofc. Terry Preuninger at the Spokane Police Academy (509) 742-8117, or email him at TPreuninger@spokanepolice.org
