Every second counts.
Steve Heidel at the National Governors Security Association in Washington DC presenting on threat detection

Exceptional  threat detection training.

With his specialized training sessions, Steve empowers participants with invaluable knowledge to bolster safety across various scenarios. Whether it's law enforcement agencies or educational institutions, Steve can conduct training for groups of any size, ensuring that all attendees receive the necessary skills and expertise.

A comprehensive situational awareness training experience.

Situational awareness training is an integral part of any safety and security plan by instilling confidence and providing the tools to employees to directly contribute to the day-to-day safety and security plan of your business or organization. It's a force multiplier like no other. It aids in early detection, intervention, and prevention of potentially harmful events.

 

This is accomplished in part by learning how the human body’s autonomic response to fight, flight, and freeze leaks information and how you should be interpreting that information in order to avoid a harmful event. If you are an individual seeking to learn skills to keep yourself and the ones that you love safe, or if you are a business owner looking to empower your workforce, this is the course for you.

 

When it comes to your personal safety remember - EVERY SECOND COUNTS!

Our trainings support and enhance Act 18 of 2019 of the Pennsylvania School Code Mandated School Threat Assessment Teams T3 program and compliance of Act 55 of 2022 of mandated Situational Awareness training for all school employees. 

Everyone is born with the innate sense to want to feel safe. 7 Seconds was founded on the belief that most people want to learn how to avoid danger rather than train in self-defense. Our mission is to educate and equip people with the skills that will allow them to both feel safe and protect themselves and those close to them. Through recognition and interpreting pre-incident indicators you will remain “Left of Bang” - avoiding danger before a harmful event occurs.
