RESPONDER 101 (FLAGSHIP)

De-Escalation Training

Our de-escalation training teaches you how to recognise, manage and reduce conflict before it becomes a physical confrontation. Participants learn practical communication, situational awareness, threat recognition, boundary setting and decision-making skills designed to help control tense situations while keeping themselves and others safe.

The goal is simple: prevent the fight before the fight starts.

Scene Management Training

Our three-level Scene Management Course develops the skills needed to safely and effectively manage incidents from the moment you arrive until the situation is resolved.

Participants progress through three levels of training, building their ability to assess scenes, identify risks, establish control, manage people and resources, preserve evidence, communicate effectively and coordinate with other responders.

The course is designed to develop calm, structured decision-making under pressure, whether dealing with a routine incident, a high-risk situation or a complex emergency.

Three levels. One objective: take control, manage the scene and protect lives.

Arresting Techniques Training

Our three-level Arresting Techniques Course develops the practical skills required to safely and effectively manage, control and restrain individuals during an arrest.

Participants progress through three levels, building from fundamental control and restraint techniques to more advanced methods for managing resistance, heightened risk and dynamic situations.

The course focuses on legal awareness, control, communication, proportionality, officer safety and practical application, helping participants make sound decisions while reducing unnecessary risk to themselves, the subject and others.

Three levels. One objective: control the situation safely, lawfully and professionally.

Patroller 101

Patroller 101 is Guardian’s foundational community patrol and security response programme, designed to take individuals from the basics of patrol operations through to the practical skills required to operate safely, confidently and professionally in a community environment.

The course covers patrol procedures, situational awareness, communication, observation, reporting, legal responsibilities, incident management, scene management, de-escalation, arresting techniques, basic self-defence, first responder principles and operational procedures.

Participants learn how to identify potential threats, manage incidents, communicate effectively with fellow patrollers and emergency services, and understand the limits of their legal authority and responsibilities.

Patroller 101 is about more than simply walking or driving a patrol. It is about developing disciplined, observant and capable patrollers who understand their role, know how to respond to incidents and can contribute meaningfully to the safety of their community.

Know your role. Read the situation. Respond with purpose.

Force-on-Force Training

Our Force-on-Force Training places participants in realistic, controlled scenario environments where they must make decisions and respond under pressure.

Using non-lethal training ammunition and controlled close-quarter scenarios, participants are tested on communication, situational awareness, decision-making, firearm handling, close-quarter engagement and hand-to-hand skills across a variety of environments and situations.

Train under pressure. Perform when it matters.

Citizen Tactical

Citizen Tactical is designed for the law-abiding, armed citizen who chooses to be prepared rather than reactive.

The course focuses on practical tactical readiness for real-world situations, developing awareness, decision-making, defensive skills, firearm handling and the ability to respond appropriately when confronted with a threat.

Training is built around the realities of carrying a firearm in everyday life, including situational awareness, threat recognition, defensive decision-making, movement, communication, de-escalation and scenario-based training.

This is not about turning civilians into soldiers. It is about developing responsible, capable and prepared citizens who understand their equipment, their environment and their responsibilities when things go wrong.

Carry responsibly. Prepare deliberately. Respond decisively.

Scenario-Based Training

Our Scenario-Based Training places participants in realistic, controlled situations designed to test more than technical skills. Participants are required to assess the situation, identify threats, communicate, make decisions and respond appropriately under pressure. Scenarios can incorporate firearms, de-escalation, movement, close-quarter engagement, arresting techniques, scene management and other practical skills.

Each scenario is followed by structured feedback and analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement.

Don't just train the skill. Train the decision.

Skills Development

Kids Firearm Safety

Our Kids Firearm Safety programme teaches children age-appropriate, practical rules for staying safe around firearms.

The programme focuses on recognising firearms, understanding that they are not toys, what to do if they encounter one, and the importance of never touching, handling or playing with a firearm without a responsible adult present.

Through engaging and easy-to-understand instruction, children learn how to make safe decisions and respond appropriately with firearms around them.

See it. Stop. Don't touch. Tell an adult

After the Shot

After the Shot is designed to prepare armed citizens and responders for the critical period following a defensive shooting incident.

The course focuses on post-incident decision-making, immediate priorities, scene management, communication, interaction with emergency services and investigators, preservation of evidence, legal considerations and the wider consequences of a defensive shooting.

Participants gain an understanding of what may happen after the immediate threat has ended, helping them approach the aftermath calmly, responsibly and within the law.

The shooting may last seconds. The aftermath can last years.

Anti-Hijacking Training

Our Anti-Hijacking Training prepares participants for both sides of a vehicle hijacking scenario: preventing and responding to a hijacking, or surviving one when it happens to you.

The course covers situational awareness, threat recognition, preventative driving habits, decision-making under pressure, vehicle positioning, escape considerations, communication and post-incident response.

Participants work through realistic scenarios designed around two critical perspectives:

1. Responding to a Hijacking
Developing the skills and decision-making required when responding to an active hijacking or assisting someone who has been targeted.

2. Being Hijacked
Understanding how to recognise the developing threat, manage the situation, make sound decisions under extreme pressure and prioritise the safety of yourself and your passengers.

The objective is not simply to teach people how to react. It is to develop the awareness and judgement to recognise danger early, make the right decisions and survive the encounter.

See it coming. Know what to do. Get home.
