B-SAFE PROGRAM

MANAGING  RISK IN A CHANGING WORLD

The Parker County Sheriff’s Office’s new B-Safe program is a series of presentations designed to help our Parker County citizens develop effective personalized safety plans that fit their individual circumstances and lifestyles. There is no fee for this service.

Current presentation offerings include how to plan for safety for:

  • Your home
  • Going out and about
  • Safety in and around your vehicle
  • Deterring, preventing, and reacting to active shooter incidents
  • Organizing community safety groups

Topics include:

  • The nature of risk from criminals (it’s not just statistics)
  • How criminals think (a lot differently than you do)
  • Understanding that a crime is not an instantaneous event – it’s a process that happens over time and distance and can be stopped before confrontation
  • Changing your target profile (what criminals see when they look at you)
  • The six “D’s” that every effective plan must have
  • The critically important element that determines if your plans will work the way you think they will

Available Formats:

Condensed format presentation: An approximately 30 minute in person presentation on a single topic  without PowerPoint or videos

Single topic presentation: An approximately 1 ¼ – 1 ½  hour in person presentation on one topic using PowerPoint, videos of actual crimes, and discussion
