Here is what people are saying about our programs:
Through Verbal Defense & Influence, officers learn in a safe classroom environment how their
words affect situations, how their body language can set the tone for their interactions with
others and how their use of appropriate and professional communication can keep a situation
from escalating. The information and skills taught in Verbal Defense & Influence classes help to
keep them safer while performing as officers of the department.

Verbal Defense & Influence really helps Security protect the company’s bottoms line by
giving us the tools to enforce policies without the patrons blaming us or the casino for
the problems they themselves cause. I once had to bar the arm of a patron who was
physically and verbally threatening to harm an employee when I arrived. When it was
all over and we were escorting the patron out voluntarily, he thanked me for watching
out for him, and not getting him arrested. The man and his family have since remained
regular customers to our casino. Witnesses were pleased and continue to come because they
feel safe, and the employee was pleased that we quickly gained control of the situation.
