ESCS utilizes operationally proven tactics, techniques, and procedures to accomplish its training goals.  Hands-on-training and reality based- stress inoculation training exercises are the best way to have effective training.  Lectures and PowerPoint presentations are part of the training process but only an exceedingly small part. Simply watching a PowerPoint or listening to someone speak will NOT prepare anyone to deal with a hostile, active threat event.  Therefore, the only way to train effectively is to have top rated professional instructors who incorporate 90%-95% hands-on-training and reality based-stress inoculation training exercises to the training event. One’s body must become acclimated to the stress that it will feel during a hostile event so that the brain does not shut down due to the stress.  You must be able to think and react accordingly. ESCS utilizes the DEAR principle – Demonstrate, Explain, Apply, Remediate. Instructors will demonstrate every skill and explain it clearly.  The instructors will then have you perform or apply the skill and then remediate the skill should it not be applied correctly.
