The Mason Campus Safety Team initiative was developed in 2005 to improve safety and advance the partnership between the City, Mason City Schools, business partners and the community.  The Campus Safety initiative continues to serve as a leading model for communities and safety agencies throughout the country.  As a community partner, the Team serves as a resource for your safety training needs.  The following training programs are provided free of charge and can be tailored in length depending on your specific needs.  Please contact Nick Fantini at 513.229.8560 for additional details or to schedule a training.

Threat Assessment
The Campus Safety Team will visit your location and work collaboratively with you to identify, evaluate and address potential safety and security threats related to your facility and operations. Some areas that we can help evaluate include assessment of site security, financial procedures, and opening and closing routines.

De-escalation Training
This training offers tips and techniques through verbal and non-verbal de-escalation strategies.  De-escalation training provides individuals with the tools to calmly deal with people who are experiencing mental and emotional crisis. Members of the Campus Safety Team will coach your staff on how to use some of the same skills they’ve learned as part of their police de-escalation training to respond to an emotionally heightened situation.

Women’s Self-Defense PROTECT Training
This women’s self-defense class is intended to educate and empower you by improving your situational awareness helping you predict, identify, and avoid situations where harmful intent may be present. The focus of the course is on understanding and adopting personal safety habits that will harden you as a target, and prevent a potential predator.  This hands-on class will provide you some basic self-defense moves for when/where avoidance isn’t possible.

Active Assailant Workshop
Active shooter training is one of several proactive steps organizations can take to prepare employees and managers to respond appropriately to an active shooter or mass casualty incident. While the likelihood of an active shooter event is rare, all employees should know how to recognize the signs of potential violence and what their role is during an active shooter situation. Active shooter training strengthens and reinforces an organization’s emergency action plan and can help reduce the risk of an incident occurring. This Campus Safety Workshop includes an active assailant threat analysis of your facility and operations combined with a training session for your staff to learn strategies for preparing and responding to an active assailant incident.
