Introduction
Hand-on training has been a hallmark of The All Hazards training Center since its inception in 1989. In keeping with this tradition, we specialize in the use of a wide variety video scenario training tools to enhance the learning environment for various target populations. These include the following:

Video Scenario Training for law enforcement officers.
Both lethal and non lethal training is conducted via video scenario training delivered through F.A.T.S. (Firearms Training System). Officers will respond in real situations according to how they train. Video scenario training is an immensely powerful tool in exposing officers to the realism of deadly encounters and teaching those needed skills necessary to survive and help others survive life threatening incidents.

Conflict Resolution Video Scenarios.
Every year our schools and workplaces are subject to an ever-increasing rate of violence. In many cases, the acts of violence resulted from a minor disagreement or misunderstanding. Staff members need to be prepared to recognize and resolve these conflicts before they get out of hand by possessing the skills to manage and de-escalate potentially dangerous situations that may arise. To assist in learning these important skills, The All Hazards Training Center has developed a series of interactive video training scenarios that are available on DVD. To date, these include conflict resolution scenarios for residence hall advisors on college campuses, workplace violence avoidance scenarios for any organizational setting, unarmed campus security officers, and K-12 school teachers.

Webcasts.
Our newest venture is the live, interactive webcast of training scenarios. This approach is excellent for bringing people from multiple levels from multiple locations together to participate in an integrated exercise, as it eliminates the need for everyone to travel to the same location. Since the webcasts are interactive, trainees can answer questions or ask questions online while the event is taking place. In addition, the trainees can even help decide what should be done next in the scenario via live participant polls. Pre-tests, post-tests, and trainee evaluations are also easy to administer and control. The webcasts can also be archived for future use. Please refer to the links below to view an archived webcast.

In summary, The All Hazards Training Center utilizes Video Scenario Simulation Training to enhance many of the courses that we offer, be they worker safety, school safety and security, emergency response, or almost any training topic - learning can be enhanced through the use of this cutting edge training technique.

Video Scenario Simulation Training Project Summaries
Firearms Simulation Training
CTP delivered Firearms Training Systems (FATS) to nearly all non-administrative county law enforcement personnel for mid-size Ohio County Sheriff’s department. Our instructor coordinated the training schedule and curriculum with the county safety and training officers, and incorporated departmental policies and procedures in the hands-on training which included the use of chemical spray, baton, handcuffs and firearms. Our program exceeded the primary goal of the department which was to provide affordable training to nearly one hundred officers and to test the officer’s decision-making skills and to their response to simulated situations. All officers, special deputies, jailers, and staff participated. The judgmental training provided by The University of Findlay proved very beneficial for several officers who were involved in a real-life situation that required the use of lethal force a few weeks after the training. In fact, the officers involved stated that the training they received helped them make the right decisions and survive a life-or-death situation.
Firearms Simulation Training for Hospital Security Force
SEEM delivered on-location Firearms Training Systems (FATS) that involved all forty-five security personnel of a local hospital/medical center. The SEEM instructor coordinated the training schedule and curriculum with the Chief of Security and Management to incorporate departmental policies and procedures into the training. In this case, a greater emphasis was placed on the officer’s verbal communication skills used to deal with a situation that may occur. The goal of the security staff is to diffuse or de-escalate the incident and hopefully eliminate the need for the use of force. The training program included the use of communication and verbal skills, empty-hand techniques, as well as the use of baton, chemical spray and firearms. The training exceeded the expectations of the Chief of Security and will be incorporated into an annual training program for security personnel at the medical center. In the future, The University of Findlay will create additional scenarios that will involve hospital and security staff. These scenarios will be created and filmed at the client’s facilities to enhance future training at not only this medical center, but other medical centers as well.
Firearms Simulation Training for Law Enforcement
SEEM has delivered Firearms Training Systems (FATS) for many local law enforcement agencies. The goal of the agencies and departments is to provide effective training to as many officers as possible at an affordable cost. To date, over five hundred officers have participated in the training programs. The training, which normally is conducted on location, includes officers from the County Sheriff and Municipal Police Departments who are interested in maximizing participation and sharing training expenses. Collectively, over five hundred officers from more than a dozen different departments have participated in and benefited from our FATS training programs. Frequently, the training was conducted during non-normal working hours to accommodate the various schedules of law enforcement personnel. The goal of our training program is to test the decision-making skills of the officers and to provide realistic training that will improve their response to real-life situations that they will face. To accomplish this, The University of Findlay will tailor the program to meet the needs of the participating agencies with hands-on training to include verbal communications, prisoner control techniques, handcuffing, use of baton, chemical spray and firearms.
Simulated Firearms Training for Corporate Security Client
SEEM created a two-day training session using Firearms Training Systems (FATS) on location to personnel of a private security firm responsible for the safety and security of an Executive for several Fortune 100 companies. CTP’s instructor coordinated the training schedule and curriculum with the client’s Chief of Security and Management. Additional training scenarios specific to the client’s physical property and facilities will be filmed and produced by SEEM to enhance future training for this particular client.
