Expert-led Resident Education
A practical safety talk for local communities
Learn how to stay aware, reduce risk, and recognize problems before they escalate — led by retired federal law enforcement instructor Craig Doughty.
Most safety content is either overly tactical or too abstract to apply in real life. These Community Safety Sessions are different — they’re simple, clear, and built around skills anyone can use immediately.
Whether you’re a homeowner, part of a neighborhood group, a senior community, or just someone who wants to feel more prepared, these sessions give you tools that work in everyday life.

These sessions break down safety into plain, usable steps:
Recognizing pre-threat indicators
Maintaining safe distance (including the 21-foot principle)

When to de-escalate vs. when to disengage
How to appear less vulnerable
How criminals select targets
