Experts agree the single most important factor in surviving criminal attack is to have an overall safety strategy before you need it.

This seminar will emphasize awareness and prevention of criminal confrontation.


    Professional Instructors with over 50 years of combined experience.

    S2 Defense Systems offers a Safety, Security and Self Defense seminar designed for the working professionals and family groups that are concerned about their personal safety. Our personnel are professional instructors with many years of experience in teaching and hands-on security work. Our staff is certified and licensed by national and international organizations and has extensive resumes that can be accessed through links on this website.

    Seminar topics include: home, automobile, phone, technological, travel, and personal security. Seminar participants are presented with a variety of common-sense crime prevention and personal safety strategies and devices they may integrate into their daily lives.

    Topics covered:

  • Home Security - Plant “defensive” shrubbery around your home, especially beneath windows. Bushes with thorns or stiff, spiky leaves are not good hiding places for criminals. When moving into a house or apartment, always change or re-key the locks. Otherwise, the previous resident—and anyone they supplied keys to—has unrestricted access to your home.

  • Phone Security - Consider keeping a separate line or cellular phone as a security device. Taking one phone off the hook renders other units on that line inoperable. Using a separate line or cellular phone in your bedroom is a good precaution.

  • Automobile Security - Use a two-piece key ring with your car keys separate from your other important keys. Give parking valets or mechanics your car keys only. Supplying your entire set of keys creates an opportunity for duplicates to be made. Check your surroundings before getting out of your car. If something or someone strikes you as out of place or threatening, drive away.

  • Personal Safety - Consider taking a self-defense course. A wide variety of courses are offered for self-defense and each should be considered carefully for relevance to your own situation. The S2 Defense Safety, Security and Self Defense seminar provides many useful personal-safety strategies and discusses the pros and cons of other training options.


    These are just a few steps you can take to avoid becoming a victim of violent crime.
