The number of possible directions the situation progress makes identifying any one correct answer difficult. Complex and ambiguous scenarios may seem overwhelming, but ultimately they are dealt with the same way simple decisions are made: one at a time." Melody Lauer of Citizens Defense Research |

Pack M: Aprill Risk Consulting
Expansion Pack (M) has 8 images that are hand picked William Aprill. These are very interesting images and may not be as easy as you think. They make you ponder on things because there are usually several RIGHT answers....that is all I am going to say about that. BUY THIS PACK and see..... Thursday, Aug. 6th, 2020: The training industry lost one of its sharpest minds today, William Aprill. A gifted teacher and orator, William’s classes on Unthinkable and Violent Criminal Actors changed the way I both approached, and taught my classes. To say he profoundly influenced me seems like an understatement. A great shooter, teacher, and counselor, his passing leaves a hole in the Personal Protections training that will not soon be filled. His sharp wit, and deep compassion made him a keen observer of mankind, and a deeply private individual who was always looking for the truth wherever it may hide. Shelley and I will miss him greatly, and are deeply saddened by his passing. This is the quote that he started his classes with, and to me it sums up his spirit: "The strength of a person's spirit would then be measured by how much 'truth' he could tolerate, or more precisely, to what extent he needs to have it diluted, disguised, sweetened, muted, falsified.” Friedrich Nietzsche Short is our life, and quick is our passing. Live each moment. As the great stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius advised: “You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think. — Marcus Aurelius” |

Pack N: Situation Cards
Expansion Pack (N) has 8 different situations for the more advanced person. Before your practice session you pull 1 or even 2 cards and follow the directions on that card. Example: You flip over 1 card that says "CROWDED AREA". That means every decision you make must be sensitive to a large crowd around you. Example: You flip over 2 cards. One says "CROWDED AREA". The other says "LOW LIGHT". That means every decision you make must be sensitive to a large crowd around you while using a flashlight to ID and see. |

Pack O: Polite Society Podcast
Expansion Pack (O) has 8 images that are hand picked by Paul Lathrop "I chose these 8 images as a group because they symbolized situations I could easily see happening to average citizens in today’s society. In some cases action should have been taken long before getting as close as the camera was in some of these images. Regardless, in each image, a clear course of action came into my mind after looking at them. Not all the images have all the information I would like to have before making a decision, but that is how life is., you use the best information you have and act on that information to create the best situation that you can. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of looking at these and the “practice thoughts” of what actions I should then take if I were to find myself in these situations in real life. As my good friend and colleague Rob Morse is fond of saying, in an emergency you won’t be able to do what you haven’t practiced. That includes your mind. I heartily endorse practicing your mind and thinking “what would I do if?” Even if what you see is not exactly like something you went over as a scenario in your head previously, recognizing a situation and responding quickly and correctly can save you time and possibly save lives. Finally, I would encourage you to practice “people watching.” Your goal should be to recognize threats when there is enough distance between you and that threat to give you time to react. In every encounter I have outside my home when I very first see someone I check one of two boxes in my head, Potential threat, or Unlikely to be a potential threat. I have been doing this for years, since I have taken my very first self-defense course. Noting body language and type of movement (speedy, casual, somewhat jerky as if intoxicated) can give you information a long time in advance and help you stay out of situations where you may need to take immediate action." Paul Lathrop |
This Expansion is extra special because IN YOUR PACK will be a handout where PTG addresses each of the 8 cards with a "what you could consider doing". Obviously, PTG is "held harmless" of any and all actions. This is just a suggestion from a professional that specializes in church security. We advise you train with him (or another professional) so you have well rounded skills. Focusing on verbal commands, verbal de-escalation, when to walk way, good team communication, and more. Basically, non lethal, less lethal and lethal decisions need to be quick, legal, and successful.

Pack P: #1 Church Security (IBDD Certified Instructors)
Expansion Pack (P) has 8 images that are hand picked by Steve Moses of Palisade Training Group (PTG). Steve's focus is on helping church security teams with different scenarios. Steve is a customer support representative for the Firearms Trainers Association and frequently appear as the “tactical guy” on CCW Safe Podcasts with host Shawn Vincent and Don West, a veteran criminal attorney who successfully represented George Zimmerman during a high-profile murder trial. He is also a long-time firearms trainer and former deputy constable with experience doing executive/dignitary protection for international, state, and national politicians. Steve spent approximately eight years as a team leader on a nine-man Dallas/Fort Worth area church security team in which the minister’s sermons were televised to a large viewing audience. It was not uncommon at the time that he was on the team for nearly 20,000 persons to pass through the main campus on a single weekend, and as a result the team dealt with a multitude of challenges. Steve moved to East Texas in late 2009 and along with his long-time business partner started teaching Church Security clinics, Church Security Team classes, and eventually Church Security Team Leader/Instructor courses. The scenarios in his Expansion Pack(s) include his personal take as to how he would respond (as well as how he would want the members on his team to do the same) based upon the limited non-verbal information available from a still photograph. |

Pack Q: Modern Samurai Project
Expansion Pack (Q) has 8 images that are hand picked by Beverly & Scott "Jedi" Jedlinski. “All of the images I chose embody a sense of foreboding.

|
Pack R: Defensive Training International
Expansion Pack (R) has 8 images that are hand picked by John & Vicki Farnam. "We choose these photos to help the user understand that your response may change once you have the chance to go back and look a second time. A glimpse of something does not mean seeing the totality. Training yourself to truly see what you are looking at is the goal." Vicki & John Farnam |

Pack U: Greg Ellifritz of Active Response Training
Expansion Pack (U) has 8 images that were hand picked by Greg Ellifritz. CLICK HERE: WOW!!! We are blown away by the article that Greg Elliftitz published today at Active Response Training. "An excellent tool to help you improve your judgement and response abilities in the context of self defense. I would recommend that you actually use the tools that they have included in the kit. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve seen in pepper spray class who can’t correctly push a button under stress. I see people fumbling with telephones on almost every 911 call to which I respond. The only way to avoid that chaos is to practice using all of your available response options during training. The Image Based Decisional Drills kit allows you to do just that." Greg Ellifritz |

Expansion Pack (W) has 8 images that are hand picked by TactiComedy.

Pack Y: Citizens Safety Academy
Expansion Pack (Y) has 8 images that are hand picked by Aqil Qadir. "The thing we can do that will have cause the greatest increase in our personal safety and security is situational awareness. In short, knowing who’s around us and what they’re doing. As Claude Werner would say, “It’s better to stay out of trouble than to have to get out of trouble”. These images resonated with me as they represent the typical situations that citizens can find themselves in, and if they’ve developed solid pre-planned responses, they can make sound decisions that will save lives. I hope that works and if not tweak as necessary or send back and tell me what needs changing." Aq Qadir |

Pack Z: The Tactical Professor

Pack BB: Armed Women of America
Expansion Pack (BB) has 8 images that are hand picked by Armed Women of America's team of leaders throughout the country.

|
Pack CC: Lucky Gunner
Expansion Pack (CC) has 8 images that are hand picked by Chris Baker. "Exercises like these force us to think outside of the kinds of circumstances that typically come to mind when we imagine "extreme situations." Most problems we come across in life are not problems we can solve with skills we practice at the range. Simply being accustomed to acting decisively in the face of novel situations really goes a long way, regardless of what equipment or technical skills we may possess." Chris Baker |

Pack DD: Tales from the Range TRAVEL PACK #1
Expansion Pack (DD) has 8 images that were either taken by Karen or hand picked by Karen. "How often have you stayed in a hotel that wasn't in a great area of town or were on a road trip and stopped at a gas station that felt a little sketchy? I chose these images as part of a 'travel pack' because we often have a reasonable level of confidence in our ability to deal with situations in our home environment but what do we do in unfamiliar settings? Quite often, the self defense tools you might have with you at home are not available to you while traveling. It is important to be able to come up with a plan of action no matter where you are." Karen Whitlock |
|
Pack EE: Tatiana Whitlock - Training in Context
"Context is critical. These eight images were selected because they are visual reflections of situations that I discuss regularly in my classes. None of them were selected because they offer “obvious” solutions but rather invite pause, require interpretation or context to best choose what you would do next. I challenge users of this pack to build contextual scenarios ranging from happy, scary, benign for each image and explore how their responses might vary. " Tatiana Whitlock https://tatianawhitlock.com/ |
