This training equips employees who work for television and radio broadcast businesses, such as reporters, cameramen, sound technicians, with the ability to respond to, and report on, disasters in as safe a manner as possible. News gathering crews need to be aware that they could become a part of the story if not properly trained in how to recognize and avoid hazards in the field. These include physical hazards such as downed power lines, fallen tree limbs, mud slides, sink holes, and hazards related to the incident itself, such as a tornado, earthquake or chemical spills.

Presented as a 2-Hour Management Awareness, 4-Hour Field Personnel Training (or other styles that may fit your needs) this course will provide news crews with the decision making tools necessary to reduce their potential of becoming a part of the story.

Findlay All Hazards can assess a school's or district's vulnerability to security threats and recommend needed improvements:
    • Vulnerability Assessments. Security professionals will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your
       district’s facilities to identify and make recommendations to enhance the security of your buildings to best
       safeguard staff and students. Often the recommended physical improvements are not large capital
       expenditures, but greatly improve a facility’s security.
    • Vulnerability Assessment – Covert Video. Assessment professionals will identify your likely threats
       and, in a span of 24 hours, will attempt to gain access to your buildings and perform some targeted “harm” or
       “disruption”. While covertly filmed and recorded, these assessments are conducted without disrupting the
       educational process, and yet allow your faculty and staff to see and hear your security weaknesses.
    • Threat Assessments. A UF security analyst will assess your educational environment, the surrounding
       community, and the region to identify and assess the likely and greatest threats to your institution. These
       professionals are the preeminent school-focused experts operating in this field today.
    • Physical Security Device Recommendations. On occasion, technological additions to educational buildings
       or sports complexes are necessary to help reduce acts of violence or to aid in loss prevention. We will help
       conduct an unbiased assessment of your requirements, and your building’s physical environments, to
       recommend the best layout of security equipment.

The University of Findlay is the leader in developing interactive training using "virtual reality" scenario-based tools. Our products aimed at the School Safety/Security category are:

    • Conflict Resolution DVD. Our School Safety/Security Virtual Reality Training allows your staff to practice
       making decisions how to de-escalate a crisis situation in the halls, classroom, bus, or any other area on
       your campus. This DVD-based technology places your staff in a controlled environment to practice their
       conflict resolution skills and review and debrief how they could best reduce “stressors” and minimize the
       likelihood of a physical assault. Your staff can revisit scenarios and related teaching points to perfect
       such skills as; tone of voice, word selection, proximity, and disciplinary actions.

    • School Safety & Security CD-ROM. This CD-based training helps school employees recognize and respond
       to potential danger. It offers guidance for planning, prevention and response in the event of a bomb threat
       similar crisis. The CD is organized into 10 sections based upon roles, for example, teacher, custodian,
       or administrator, etc. Video scenarios for each role depict scenes involving a suspicious incident or event.
       Results of improper responses are discussed, and a checklist of preparation points and safe, valid response
       procedures for the incident is provided.

Findlay All Hazards incorporates exercises into customized training programs so trainees can practice newly learned skills in a hands-on environment. Our capabilities include designing and conducting tabletop, functional and full-scale exercises; as well as creating interactive video scenarios for law enforcement and security training programs. Findlay integrated exercises test not only how well your personnel respond to an incident, but how well they understand your emergency operations plans and standard operating procedures.

We have developed integrated exercise scenarios for hospitals, health departments, emergency management agencies, law enforcement, and hazardous materials response teams. We are ready to assist you in developing and conducting your next exercise, whether you need help in the design phase, execution phase or simply need assistance in evaluating your performance or creating an After-Action Report.

Police and security officers respond to real-life threats based on how they have trained and how well prepared they are. The University of Findlay uses a Firearms Training System (FATS) to provide video simulation training that places in situations that require shoot/no-shoot and force decisions. The officer must think, act and speak simultaneously while reacting to a realistic high-stress situation that he/she could face.

Findlay provides over 240 different scenarios for use in FATS training. We can provide an operator/instructor to conduct the training or you can rent the system and have UF deliver and setup the system and teach your training officer how to use it effectively. Available system weapons include handguns, rifle, shotgun, OC spray, baton, and Taser.
