Dangerous Body Language: A Thousand Words…None Spoken! Nonverbal Signs Every Street Cop Should Know

Course: Learn how to apply the principles of Observation, Orientation, Decision and Action in a way that gives the officer the clear advantage on the street where critical decisions are made. Your duties are becoming more dangerous as the threats we face evolve. This requires you skillfully make observations in an effort to detect conventional and unconventional threats. What is it you are looking for? What are the things that alert you to wrong doing or danger? What is abnormal or suspicious? Are the signs and signals always obvious or are they much more subtle, as in the form of nonverbal behavior?

This workshop will focus on the teaching the street officer the subtle signs and signals, the dangerous body language, gestures and expressions to look for, recognize, and respond to, allowing them to seize the initiative. “Obvious signs and signals of crime and danger can be clearly seen by the trained and observant law enforcement professional. Yet they too often go unseen, or are seen too late.” Walk the Talk of officer safety and create and nurture your awareness to a superior level by participating in this cutting edge workshop!

CREATE AND NURTURE SUPERIOR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND DECISION MAKING!
