library environment.
This fast-paced, entertaining,
and empowering webinar offers practical, realistic tools to make your facility
a better, safer place to work. Using a mix of real-life experiences as a law
enforcement officer, knowledge of workplace behavior and security measures and
a good sense of humor, Steve will teach you how to activate your
