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.
