S.A.F.E.R. Instructor New Course!

Blue Shield Tactical Systems delivers practical, legally defensible training that strengthens both officer capability and community trust. The 16-hour SAFER Women’s Self‑Defense Instructor Course equips officers with a complete, ready‑to‑teach program built around simple, effective principles that emphasize awareness, avoidance, boundary‑setting, and safe escape over prolonged physical engagement.
This course prepares officers to teach civilians in a way that is realistic, confidence‑building, and liability‑aware. Participants learn not only the physical skills but also the instructional methodology required to deliver the curriculum safely to mixed‑skill groups. This program also incorporates scenarios with documentation and a department student release form.

The program covers:

• Awareness and prevention strategies that reduce risk before physical contact occurs
• Civilian‑appropriate articulation of force and decision‑making
• Simple, high‑percentage physical skills designed for real‑world application
• Modern safety tools, technology, and communication strategies
• Teaching methods that support diverse learning styles and community demographics

Agencies frequently receive requests for practical self‑defense training that builds confidence without creating unnecessary risk. The SAFER program provides a structured, flexible, and legally sound curriculum officers can deliver immediately upon certification, enhancing community policing efforts and strengthening rapport with the public. This 16‑hour instructor, two-year certification course ensures officers can confidently teach the SAFER model and empower their communities with skills that are accessible, effective, and grounded in real‑world safety principles.

   • To cancel your attendance in a course, we require a minimum of 15 days’ notice before the course start date.
   • Notify us via email through our website.
2. Consequences of Late Cancellation:
   • If you cancel with less than 15 days’ notice, a department credit will be issued. This credit can be used toward another future training event within one year from the original course date.
   • No-shows without prior email notification will be charged the full course fee, even if payment hasn’t been made yet.

4. Why We Have This Policy:
   • Our goal is to provide quality training to as many officers as possible.
   • Some students register for courses but don’t attend, which prevents others from taking those slots.
