The purpose of Voc Rehab is simple: Assist service-disabled Veterans to train for, find, and hold down a suitable job, or achieve independence in daily living. In this case we are addressing post-secondary training at a college, vocational, technical or business school. You see it has to be “a school”. And since we are the only D.O.E. approved school in the state of Florida that also accepts GI Bill Benefits from the VA, this is a perfect match of two agencies; The Florida Department of Education and the VA.
VA Voc Rehab can help you develop new skills that build on your military experience so Veterans like yourself can remain competitive in today’s workforce. If that training and education comes in the form of a degree, an apprenticeship, technical or vocational certifications, VA Voc Rehab can be that extra push for Vets to catch up with their peers.

The FBI Uniform Crime Reports consistently indicate the majority of police officer involved shootings occur between 18:00 and 02:00, which typically occur under reduced lighting or in conditions where no light is present. Human night vision is poor, so we depend heavily on artificial light in conditions with little or no other illumination.
With critical input from certified trainers at major law enforcement agencies around the globe, Armament Systems and Procedures (ASP), one of the leading manufacturers of law enforcement products, has developed a first of its kind training course that integrates flashlights.

To the average person watching TV or a Hollywood movie, close protection is often seen as a “perk” of the “rich and famous”.
And what about outside the home? That’s when you are most vulnerable . That fancy home security system doesn’t protect you when traveling. or when your children go to school.
The “process” of security is all around us. Bank guards, bar bouncers, lobby security guards, even school crossing guards remind us about this process every day.
Again, the starting point for any serious risk mitigation efforts is a professional threat analysis. Unless you fully comprehend the threats facing you as well as your vulnerabilities to these identified threats, you have no way of assessing your risk. Consequently, you’ll have no understanding how to mitigate them.
Whether they’ve made their fortune in high profile fields such as the entertainment industry, or sports, or are powerful players in closely-scrutinized industries or any other reason, families and individuals want privacy. And while “fame” might be seen by some as a “perk”, the bottom line is the more well-known a person or family member is, the more likely they are to be approached by strangers.
