Simply
stated, our mission is to provide corporate, educational, church,
law enforcement and military professionals the highest quality training
available. Training that is both applicable and based in reality
is critical to successfully applying our training methods when needed.
Strategos International training programs & courses have been
developed through years of “hands on” experience and
client feedback to the ownership and instructor staff. Training
topics are presented in a manner that is principle based and is
designed to be customizable and scalable depending on the client’s
unique requirements.
Summarized the CREED of our training and consulting services is
that
"CAPABILITY breeds HUMILITY".
In other words we believe that the more
TRUE capability
that a person (OR organization) is given to handle situations that
are otherwise stressful or crisis oriented the more humility that
they will handle these situations with. In other words crisis situations
are more likely to be handled effectively and appropriately if the
end user feels more capable to handle them rather than a situation
unnecessarily being escalated because the end user is operating
from a
"fear based" mind set due to lack of capabilities
received prior to the crisis incident.
If we communicate anything clearly through this report &
service to our clients it is the following:
We first and foremost give GOD the credit!
. . . for what we do and how we do it. We try to remain humble in
our approach and attempt to effectively serve those who serve others
according to:
Romans 13 : 3-7
3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those
who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority?
Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God's
servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does
not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of
wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary
to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment
but also because of conscience. 6This is also why you pay taxes,
for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time
to governing. 7Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes,
pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if
honor, then honor.
Our approach is based on time tested and proven concepts/strategies
and training methodologies. It will continue to evolve and change
over time, as we interact with those who we serve and we find more
efficient ways of training and operating and as mission requirements
and crime trends change.
The format in which we reveal that reality is simply our style…one
style of many acceptable styles. It is a style in which we train
WITH the student NOT “pontificate from on high”. We
believe that the journey for professionalism and measurable, positive
results never ends and that we as instructors should also be perpetual
students.
When we founded Strategos International we initially were particularly
focused on tactical law enforcement and military related topics
and we still maintain an extremely strong commitment in this area
of study. However, we have incrementally added additional focus
areas as time and resources have permitted. We are passionate about
our presentations and endeavor to approach all training sessions
as servants to our clients.
SIMPLY PUT – Our mission to our training and consulting clients
is to demonstrate
CAPABILITY with HUMILITY.
In addition to demonstrating both of these traits we strive to provide
a high level of
“capability” to allow our training
clients the
“ability” to effectively handle
a wide array of high stress and low level situations that relate
to the safety and security situations. We believe that there is
NO SHORTCUT to achieving the skill set(s) required to achieving
these goals & objectives other than combining the necessary
“hardware” (equipment) with the proper application of
“software” (training).
It should be recognized by all that this journey of achieving the
outlined goals & objectives is not a destination that is arrived
at, but a never ending journey of improvements, education and implementations
as operating environments change and personnel behaviors & crime
trends evolve.
