Helping & training people and businesses to safely manage conflict,de-escalate difficult situations and keep themselves and others safe in the workplace
The basic lesson from the #ManchesterArena attack is that staff in public accessible locations, regardless of the type of venue, must have access to and be trained in the use of bleed control kits. Read more from @SalvasLearning here - https://t.co/Zr2X52WGGp
@west_response If the police avoid or don’t communicate with the media and answer questions then they will provide their own answers. This ‘subjudice’ standard comment is a smokescreen for laziness. I notice sub judice doesnt stop certain lawyers releasing video and comment
I wrote this article in remembrance of PC Lewis Fulton EOW 17.6.94. I fear it’s only a matter of time before we lose another officer due to removal of vital PPE & failures to follow procedures by @PoliceScotland@CFMBE@ScotsPolFed@west_response
Police in Scotland were among the frontrunners on officer safety training and de-escalation techniques, prompted in part by the tragic on-duty murder of PC Lewis Fulton almost 30 years ago; but Michael Greville, a former long-serving officer who played a key role in developing the officer training programme, believes Police Scotland needs to address a significant gap between training and operational application that leaves officers and the public at risk.

@wearethentia @Carlybag@KatyPorter22@WeAreTheLoopUK@SubClub Some good ideas from around the UK on how to ensure our night time venues and people are supported. We need more ‘Doers’
@ScotsPolFed We agree Courts have part to play however Federation should be be more vocal and demanding of @PoliceScotland executive who are failing to ensure front line officers have appropriate back up and equipment at violent incidents.
@gordonmccreadie@ACCSteveJohnson Only a matter of time before cop is killed *No tasers *Short shields removed from cars 6.5 kg too heavy!!! *NDM not followed *ITFC risk averse *ARV’s not deployed *Big pile of cops on one suspect
Who keeps us safe ?
Police infrastructure, police performance, and crime: Evidence from austerity cuts .The poorest communities suffer from police station closures @Prev_Justice@karynmccluskey@PoliceScotland Thoughts ?https://t.co/hAZ73LXqee via @TheIFS
@ScotsPolFed As protectors Front line response should all have #Taser and proper PPE. Short shields for creating deescalation space should be in every car. They're not too heavy!!! @CFMBE
Sadly many older experienced heads are leaving and young inexperienced cops have no real mentors or support @west_response@PoliceScotland@metpoliceuk

@benthespaniel@west_response Tell them to go for a cuppa whilst you folks train.
No use arguing with them.
Document the details.
When they get injured you have a paper trail that they didn’t participate.
Another preventable death in a Scottish mental health facility.
Failure to properly risk assess and identify and negate ligature points

@PSOSCollege As an organisation you’re still operating in the ‘dark ages’ regarding prone restraints and joint locks.
Compared to some of more forward thinking mental health units using ground restraints.
On this day 29 years ago we remember PC Lewis Fulton who was stabbed and killed by a mentally ill man in Glasgow. EOW : 17:06:1994 - RIP @PoliceScotland @ScotsPolFed @CFMBE
Congratulations to @cc_jofarrell on her appointment as new Chief Constable of Police Scotland
Don’t be a safe pair of hands.
Be your own person and stand up and support and protect your cops and local communities.
