II. Safety Plan & Training Program
Soteria Group’s team of experts work with you to develop a comprehensive Safety Plan and Training Program that will meet local regulatory requirements while taking into consideration the unique aspects of your site, campus and/or facility, and the culture of your organization and community.
Included in the Safety Plan is a Training Curriculum that addresses the real and anticipated needs of your organization.

Deep experience in law enforcement, as well as our communication team’s engagement with the latest public relations tactics, means that Soteria Group can prepare you for the worst while hoping for the best. We develop programs and train your personnel on internal communication systems and interfacing with local law enforcement and other emergency responders as a Unified Command.
III. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
Based on an examination of the challenges and opportunities created by physical spaces, Soteria Group’s architectural team will recommend and implement as-needed safety-enhancing new designs or renovations and modifications to your facility. Their evaluation will include changes to enhance your space, as well as relevant new security and surveillance technologies that can be retrofitted to your existing facility. We will also help you prioritize our recommendations in consideration of your available resources.
Beyond defining a physical space the built environment influences human behavior in the way people interact, function and feel. By incorporating environmental design strategies we can reduce opportunities for crime and aggressive behaviors that occur in todays world, including active shooter events, street crime, workplace violence and acts of terrorism.
