About
Crisis Intervention Solutions has been providing intervention and personal safety training since 2001. During that time we've conducted hundreds of courses for thousands of participants.
The philosophy behind the training courses is simple...
- Do everything possible to prevent or de-escalate crisis.
- Act in a reasonable, professional, and responsible way.
- Use physical intervention as an emergency procedure of last resort after other non-physical interventions have either been tried and failed or deemed inappropriate.
- Apply any physically intervention in a safe and respectful manner and with the least amount of force necessary to provide for the safety of an individual.
