Preventing Harm Against Persons is the highest priority of the U-M Division of Public Safety and Security (DPSS).
DPSS Michigan Medicine Security (MMS) provides many trainings and presentations to help keep Michigan Medicine
staff safe in their workplace, when traveling, and at home. We work hard to build trust with our community
and develop trainings that are engaging, relevant, and directly applicable to the participant's workplace.
Situational Awareness for Violent Events (SAVE)
Situational Awareness for Violent Events (SAVE) training is an innovative program developed by Michigan
Medicine Security to prepare and empower staff to take control of their safety. Through both classroom
and scenario-based training, participants will learn best practices for handling aggressive behaviors
and responding to an active attacker situation.
3 Hours
Early Intervention and Personal Safety Strategies
This training emphasizes situational awareness so you can spot and avoid potential trouble,
recognize escalating behaviors, and use techniques for safely intervening and responding when a person is posing a risk.
1 Hour
Situational Awarenss for Emergency Responders (SAFER)
SAFER is an exciting new training customized specifically for the requesting unit. MMS partners with unit leadership to analyze the
risks and recent security incidents that have affected the unit, and develop the training accordingly. The training involves studying
video footage of actual hospital incidents, learning to recognize escalating behaviors, and how to stay safe when somebody becomes aggressive.
SAFER is intended for large groups (like entire units or departments), broken down into multiple sessions with 15-25 participants in order to
reach everyone in the group. SAFER requests must come from unit leadership.

Situational Awareness and Personal Safety
This one-hour training can be delivered in person or virtually to a group of any size. This training is designed to develop situational awareness
skills to keep you safe before, during, and after work. You will learn tips on identifying what is going on around you, understanding baseline observations,
and identifying anomalies to make you more alert and able to quickly make informed decisions for your safety.

Rapid Environmental Assessment & Control Tactics (REACT)
REACT training is among the first of its kind. We designed REACT for home healthcare clinicians, to help them stay safe when they're out in the
community and visiting people in their homes. In live-action scenarios with role-players, participants practice safely approaching homes, meeting
unfamiliar patients in unfamiliar surroundings, identifying potential problems, and developing a quick and safe exit strategy. REACT is intended for
large groups, broken down into multiple sessions with 15-25 participants in order to reach everyone in the group.

Run-Hide-Fight™
Chances are you'll never face an active attacker situation. However if you do, you need to be prepared. This presentation aims to educate our
community on how to respond and prevent an active attacker incident. MMS instructors will give an overview of the RUN, HIDE, and FIGHT response,
as well as the critical thinking involved in choosing a decision that is right for you.
NOTE: This presentation is also part of SAVE.

Our nation was irrevocably impacted by the catastrophic events on Sept 11, 2001.

concerning or suspicious behaviors. Learn how we can all work together towards
