The Simon Agency’s Protective Awareness and Threat Response programs focus on safeguarding your most valuable asset – your people. We are uniquely equipped to assist, educate and train your employees in emergency awareness, threat detection, and survival techniques for scenarios such as active assailants and workplace violence. In these trainings, participants learn practical skills like recognizing warning signs of potential violence, implementing “run-hide-fight” strategies or other response protocols, and rendering aid until first responders arrive. Our Active Threat workshops foster coordination between your staff and local emergency responders, ensuring everyone knows their role and the best options for safety and survival in a crisis.

For organizations and public agencies alike, building a culture of protective vigilance is critical. We help instill that culture by training situational awareness and preventive practices at all levels. From front-line employees to security personnel, our experts (including former Secret Service and SWAT professionals) share proven methods to identify risks early and respond effectively. We also provide specialized modules for high-profile individuals and executive protection teams on personal security and travel safety. These modules cover everything from detecting surveillance and managing public interactions, to defensive driving and safe route planning during travel. The goal is to empower every individual – not just security staff – with the knowledge and mindset to contribute to a safer environment. With The Simon Agency’s protective training, your workforce and principals will be proactive, prepared, and situationally aware, reducing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
