Halloween Safety Tips 2016 – ESS Global Corp

Posted on

With Halloween right around the corner, ESS Global, a D.O.E. approved safety consulting firm has some important Halloween safety tips.

Halloween Safety Tips 2016

Halloween brings fun and sweets to children, but those ghouls and goblins are not the things to be afraid about. Accidents and mishaps increase dramatically on Halloween night. For instance, children are more than twice as likely to be struck and killed by a car on Halloween than any other day of the year. 

Halloween Safety Tips 

Trick or Treating

  • Halloween Safety Tips for 2016Plan your route in advance – stick to areas both you and your children are familiar with. Keep your head on a swivel.
  • Stay well lit – carry glow sticks and flashlights. Be sure you can see your path. Be sure you can be seen by motorists.
  • Don’t trip up – Make sure costumes don’t touch the ground. Long costumes that drag on the ground can be dangerous, especially at night.
  • Avoid masks that impede sight!
  • Stay in groups – bring friends, stay in groups and never send younger children out alone.
  • Be sure children do not approach any vehicle, occupied or not, unless you are with them.
  • Put electronic devices down and keep heads up and walk, don’t run. Use crosswalks and traffic signals.
  • Watch out for open flames in jack-o-lanterns.
  • Teach children to never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars.
  • Always walk younger children to the door to receive treats, and…
  • Never enter the home of a stranger.

Driving

  • Halloween Safety Tips - DrivingSlow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and can move in unpredictable ways.
  • Enter and exit driveways slowly and carefully.
  • Take extra time to look for kids at intersections.
  • Drive slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic and turn your headlights on earlier in the day.
  • It’s a popular night for adult parties – While no night is good for drinking and driving, this is especially true tonight!

By taking the time to plan ahead and using these Halloween safety tips, you can ensure you and your children, as well as others, have a happy, healthy, and safe Halloween.

Executive Protection Training in Tampa October 26-28

Posted on

ESS Global Corp is pleased to announce our next Executive Protection Training in Tampa May 15-17 at our headquarters in Tarpon Springs.
Updated 02-09-17 2018 Calendar is up 
Also ESS Global Corp is now approved by the VA to accept GI Bill Benefits.

Executive Protection Training in Tampa


Having just completed an Executive Protection training where over half the students were law enforcement, correction officers and military special ops, we thought it would be a good idea today to announce our next D.O.E. Approved Executive Protection Training in the Tampa/ Clearwater Area is May 15-17, 2017.

Thinking of entering the world of personal protection?

Great. For an overview, read our detailed Executive Protection Training Guide.

What you need to watch out for.

executive-protection-training-in-tampaThe world of personal protection is exploding. Recent events throughout the world, especially here in the US, are causing ordinary citizens to take Situational Awareness (a class every EP agent should take), and high net-worth individuals such as celebrities, CEO’s, sports figures, and more, hire executive protection specialists for themselves and loved ones.
Consequently, many “schools” have popped up. Watch for claims such as…

“Get Certified in Executive Protection”

When choosing a facility for executive protection training, be alarmed when you see phrases like;

  • “Get your protection specialist credentials from ABC”
  • “Earn your certificate in executive protection at XYZ”
  • “We are the only school where you can earn 2 certificates in one training”

Know that no federal, state or government agency issues any “certificates” or “credentials”. Anything you get from anyone, including ESS, is a piece of paper and nothing more.

executive-protection-training-in-tampa-october
Executive Protection Training – Threat Assessment at ESS Global

While some ancillary EP training, such as baton or pepper spray, have ASP paperwork, in the protection industry, there is no “license”, no testing, and no boards in most states. Executive Protection is usually lumped into the same category as Security Guards or Private Investigation and has little to do with either.
Yet we see training to earn your “certified protection specialist credentials” advertised online. Unfortunately, nobody is regulating these schools, training centers and trainers. Meaning, nobody regulates or monitors what is taught and who is teaching it. Anybody off the street could be teaching you false and/or misleading information and you are paying for it. So your “protection credentials” at the end of the day is a piece of paper from the trainer and nothing more.
So beware Executive Protection Training “Schools” that talk about the “certifications” and “credentials” they have for you, more than they discuss their own school’s “certifications” and trainer “credentials”.
Know that no single school owns the basic concepts of Executive Protection.
Sure, we’ve seen websites where they have trademarks (TM) on common phrases like “certified protection operator” or “certified protection specialist” to make them look like their ideas are “official”. Just look at these with a grain of salt.
While some schools and instructors will try to give you the impression they invented, own or somehow refined EP skills all by themselves, the simple fact is that everyone in the EP industry has learned from someone before them.

Do The Research – Executive Protection Training in Tampa

executive protection trainingAt some point, anyone that wants to work in EP will need to attend a credible EP School. Here at ESS Global, we’ve spoke with ex-law enforcement, security guards, ex-military and more that heartily disagree with that statement. But when they attend our EP class they are in agreement. “I never knew any of that.”
The bottom line is there is no school, no facility, no instructor, that can teach you everything you need to know in 1, 3, 7, 15, 30 or 365 days.
It’s just not possible.
What you do need to do, to begin a career in EP, is you need to get a solid foundation. That is what matters most. Not a piece of paper. For a building to stand the test of time, it needs a foundation. It’s no different for Executive Protection Training. Down the road, you can focus on other specific training to further your career, depending on the path you take. But you need a solid foundation without the fluff.

Why do we use it?

One critical component of a quality executive protection training is the ‘realism’ it provides. Real-world performance is often directly related to the realism and intensity of training. Said another way, the more realistic the training exercise, the more skills are transferable to a real-world situation. Thus, realism is critically important to any close combat tactical trainer. Threats during training – The stress of receiving return fire, can be safely simulated with the Threat-Fire in the VirTra simulator.

Situational Awareness Training in Clearwater

Posted on

ESS Global Corporation announces Situational Awareness Training in Clearwater – St Petersburg -Tampa Area on January 28. This 3 hour training is invaluable.

Situational Awareness Training in Clearwater January 28

First, what is Situational Awareness and why does it matter?

Situational Awareness training had it’s roots in the military. From the breadth of the various definitions, it should be clear that situation awareness, as viewed by many working in the area, is a considerably broader concept than that conventionally held by the military community who concentrated on spacial tactical relationships (red team vs blue team).

With all the active shooter events that have occurred over the past couple years, there has been many discussions about related issues ranging from prevention to response. For details on our discussion with the Florida D.O.E., see our Situational Awareness Guide.

The ESS Global Corp Situational Awareness Training in Clearwater/ St Petersburg / Tampa helps individuals and understand human factors, reduce the impact of situational awareness barriers, and improve decision making under stress.

See Something – Say Something

For years, the federal government has been pushing their awareness program, “If you see something, say something.” It’s a great strategy to identify troubling people and situations. But in order for it to work, we need to practice situational awareness, and the reality is we don’t.

How is this happening?

From Colorado to California to Paris, to right here in Florida, there have been mass attacks, not to mention the everyday personal assaults, carjacking and robberies.

Most people have no idea about situational awareness.

It is an unfortunate fact that most people stumble through life, blissfully unaware of the world around them. They remain preoccupied in their own thoughts of work, personal problems or other mundane issues, with no thought given to their immediate environment. But, by not paying attention to their surroundings, they place themselves in needless jeopardy.

What is Situaltional Awareness Training? Fewer trips to the ERTo fully understand this phenomena, go take a seat in the nearest hospital emergency room waiting area one evening. Observe the unfortunate people who come in for treatment and you will begin to understand this point.

You will see that roughly 20% of the individuals are actually sick, so you can ignore them. Some others are overdoses so you can ignore them as well.

The remaining majority are there because they did not pay attention to their environment. These will be the folks who walked off the edge of the loading dock, stepped off roofs, backed into running machinery, touched a red hot stove burner, stepped into the path of a vehicle, or allowed a thug to walk right up to them unnoticed and hit them in the head with a brick, brandished a knife, or worse, pulled out a gun and shot them.

You can be inattentive, and oblivious in your environment day-in and day-out and be lucky, until one day the odds catch up with you and you are injured.

What is Situational Awareness Training? It can save your lifeThe same exact principle applies to the street; individuals, businesses, colleges, churches and more. You can be inattentive and oblivious and get away with it until your path crosses the path of a criminal or intersects with violent situation. The vast majority of criminals are opportunists, who only strike when presented with a viable, easy opportunity.

An “easy mark”.

But….

Remove the opportunity and you remove the risk to yourself.

And That is Why Situation Awareness Training Matters!

Developing awareness is a skill and the ESS Global Situational Awareness Training will give you the skill sets that last a lifetime. At first it will seem very awkward and self-conscious, but with practice, it will become seamless and subconscious. You will start to pick up on more and more subtle rings of disturbance and more complex stimuli from the world around you. Eventually, some people may even think you are psychic as they begin to notice how you seem to sense events before they unfold.

This Situational Awareness Training in Tampa is a 3-4 hour class depending on class size and focus. You will be out in time for lunch, and you’ll be much more aware as well.

This invaluable training is only $75!

Elevate Your Awareness to a Higher Level

The next open enrollment for Situational Awareness Training is Saturday January 28 at 8:00 AM at ESS Global Corp in the Tampa/ Clearwater area.
