Physical intervention skills may be needed in some workplaces to manage challenging behaviour safely. The management of FGH Security Ltd identified a training need for their employees who regularly  faced people with challenging behaviour towards them.

Client Feedback

I first contacted Tactical Training Services because I knew that the MD (Dave) had such a good reputation in the area as a Front Line Door Supervisor himself. TTS has always been adaptable to my complete training needs and we have had several tailor-made courses provided to us. Our full management team went on a risk assessments training course our confidence has grown immensely and security risk assessments is now an extra service we offer to our clients. TTS has made training sessions for our door supervisors and security guards a lot more enjoyable and recent training sessions have not only made our staff more knowledgeable but also acted as a team building session. Morale has definitely increased thanks to the extra training TTS has provided and consequently staff turnover has reduced.
I know that when I send my staff to get training by Dave what they learn is relevant, fun and good value for money, (Peter Harrison M.D of FGH Security Ltd) 2009.
