STREETWISE is an evidence-informed violence prevention and decision-making program that teaches EMS and fire service personnel how to recognize risk earlier, make better decisions under stress, and return home safely at the end of every shift.
Every first responder deserves to go home safely at the end of every shift.
Violence against EMS and fire service personnel is a significant occupational safety challenge. Streetwise translates research, national guidance, and operational experience into practical strategies that help responders operate more safely in unpredictable and austere environments.
Violence against responders is consistently underreported.
Its effects extend to safety, wellness, retention, and organizational resilience.
Prevention is strengthened through education, communication, reporting, leadership, and preparedness.
Streetwise translates evidence into operational practice, shift after shift.
Five decision points, repeated every call, every shift.
Take a moment to assess the situation. Rushing often leads to missed warning signs and poor decisions.
Observe the environment, people, and circumstances. The scene often tells you more than the dispatch information.
Behavior frequently predicts action. Recognize pre-attack indicators and changes in demeanor.
Create time, distance, and escape routes. Good positioning and communication provide choices when conditions change.
This is the mission. Every call. Every shift. Every first responder deserves to return home safely.
Built on peer-reviewed research, national guidance, and operational experience — providing an evidence-informed framework for recognizing risk earlier and strengthening preparedness at every level.
Streetwise is delivered directly to your department — scaled for crews, field training, and leadership.
Practical, scenario-based training that sharpens situational awareness on every call — from dispatch to transport.
A ready-to-deliver curriculum built on national research and after-action lessons, not theory alone.
