Local police departments are under pressure to change the way they interact with the public, which will help prevent unnecessary physical harm to citizens and members of the force, alike. Better training and policing techniques are central to positive change, but by reducing the fear of personal injury, officers are more likely to exhibit the patience required to de-escalate confrontations and meaningfully reduce the incidence of violence.
Lifeline™ is using its experience with extreme athletes to help. It has been shown that by creating a sense of greater physical safety in athletes leads to a more relaxed physical state and clearer mental focus, which helps prevent accidents and mistakes in the first place. We believe the same will be true for police officers and security guards, by reducing the natural fight or flight state ever so slightly. Because small changes in safety can lead to big changes in outcomes— something that benefits everyone and society at large.
