PRIORITY PROTECTION GROUP
WORKPLACE VIOLENCE PREVENTION TRAINING
THE PROBLEM
Every organization understands that workplace safety is important, but few are truly prepared to prevent or respond to incidents of workplace violence. While most managers and employees acknowledge the general risks, they often lack the training, awareness, and confidence to act proactively.
Workplace violence can occur in any industry, at any level, and can stem from employees, customers, or outsiders. Unfortunately, many workplaces operate under the false assumption that “it won’t happen here.” As a result, prevention measures are minimal or non-existent until after an incident occurs.
Managers and supervisors not knowing how to identify behavioral warning signs.

Employees feeling uncomfortable or unsure about when and how to report concerning behavior.
A lack of de-escalation training to handle emotionally charged or volatile situations.
Without structured prevention programs and education, even minor conflicts can escalate into serious threats. Moreover, Targeted Violence—acts that are planned, deliberate, and often preceded by warning signs—can go undetected when employees are not trained to recognize behavioral cues. Similarly, Reactive Aggression, characterized by sudden, emotionally explosive acts of violence, can catch organizations completely off guard without prior awareness and de-escalation training.
The truth is simple: unprepared workplaces face greater risk. Managers, HR departments, and employees all play crucial roles in maintaining a safe environment, but they must first be empowered with knowledge and skills.
That’s where Priority Protection Group comes in.
The absence of a clear Workplace Violence Prevention Policy or Emergency Response Plan.
No formal coordination with local law enforcement, emergency medical services, or mental health professionals.
OUR SOLUTION
Priority Protection Group (PPG) provides comprehensive Workplace Violence Prevention Training designed to educate, equip, and empower organizations to recognize and prevent violent incidents before they happen.
Our approach combines behavioral threat awareness, de-escalation techniques, and emergency preparedness into one integrated training program. We work with employers to create a safer, more informed workforce that can identify risks early and respond effectively.
OUR FOCUS
We teach employees and leadership teams how to recognize both Targeted Violence and Reactive Aggression, two key categories of workplace violence:
Targeted Violence
A planned, methodical form of aggression often following a pattern of grievance, planning, and attack. These cases typically have identifiable warning signs long before violence occurs.
Reactive Aggression
Sudden, emotionally charged acts triggered by frustration, anger, or perceived provocation—often escalating without warning if de-escalation skills are lacking.
Our training programs emphasize early detection, proactive intervention, and structured communication between employees, supervisors, and management. We help organizations establish reporting pathways that ensure concerning behaviors are escalated appropriately—before they lead to a crisis.
By the end of our program, every participant understands not only what to look for, but how to respond confidently and responsibly.
GENERAL EMPLOYEES
Education on awareness and early recognition of potential warning signs.
Understanding the difference between Targeted Violence and Reactive Aggression.
Emphasis on reporting responsibilities and how to use existing internal reporting systems.
Encouragement of a “see something, say something” culture without fear of retaliation.
Awareness of personal safety measures and emergency response steps.

TESTIMONIALS
I was recently given a presentation on Workplace Violence Prevention from PPG. Gordon was super friendly and informative. I have taken multiple courses and was always a victim of losing interest halfway through or not being engaged enough, but this one was of the most analytical and well thought out presentations I have been a part of. It wasn't too long but presented information in a manner everyone could understand and relate to. The reference materials and scenarios were all relevant and tied in well. Thanks again!
Gordon’s vast knowledge of threat assessments is impressive, and his applied experience shines both in his demeanor and presentation. He answered all my questions and concerns with thoughtfulness. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.
