The World of P4 Security Solutions (P4S)
Feature: De-escalation Techniques and the Workplace
High tensions and low levels of patience can make for an explosive mix - especially in today's climate. But knowing how to identify and combat potentially dangerous situations, without force, is not only valuable but critical - particularly in the workplace. The P4 Companies prioritize the use of de-escalation techniques as the primary tool in the use-of-force continuum, and extends this philosophy to clients during counseling and training, as a way to enhance each location’s physical security profile. 

There are physical and verbal cues that staff can be trained to identify, in determining if a situation is becoming unstable. Once one or more of these traits are recognized, a number of simple, yet effective steps can be taken to help de-escalate the situation. By educating employees on basic techniques, businesses and organizations can equip them with the necessary skills to delay aggression until assistance is available. To learn more about these specific de-escalation techniques, click here and call us today at 312-502-1702 to begin to create your firm's de-escalation protocol.
