A judge shot through his front door by someone claiming to look for a lost dog. A mental health counselor stabbed to death when a former client burst into her office unannounced. A state legislator and her husband murdered by an attacker posing as a police officer at 2 AM. A flight attendent stabbed to death on an overnight stay.
These aren't hypotheticals. They're headlines from recent weeks.
Your professional training taught you how to help people. It didn't teach you what to do when someone stands up, blocks the door, and you realize you're alone.
Your employer's solution? A pamphlet, a panic button that takes 8 minutes to respond to, and a hope that nothing bad happens. And usually nothing to follow you home or anywhere other than work.
Systems fail. Hope is not a strategy. These five protocols are.
Protocol 1: ASSESS — The 60-second pre-contact risk assessment that tells you exactly what protective measures to put in place before any meeting. Includes the risk matrix used by SWAT teams and executive protection worldwide.
Protocol 2: PREPARE — How to shape your environment before anything happens. Room setup, positioning, exit planning, and the "Red Cell" exercise that shows you your own vulnerabilities through an attacker's eyes.
Protocol 3: DETECT — The Orange Alert Gap that gets people killed — and how to close it. Pre-violence indicators, the 3–5 second initial scan, and the Tactical Twos checklist for every space where you meet clients.
Protocol 4: RESPOND — Alert, Escape, Barricade, Fight. The PAIA framework for crisis response — including covert alert systems, smooth exits, emergency exits, and the 2-second rule for improvised weapons.
Protocol 5: AID — Medical preparedness when you or someone else is injured. The Three Selfs, tourniquet application, wound packing, and what to have in your kit.
Plus: the Client Risk Factors Checklist — a printable tool you can run through in 60 seconds before any meeting to determine your risk level and match it to the right protective action.
This guide was built specifically for professionals who face potentially dangerous people as part of their job:
Judges and court personnel
Social workers and case managers
Mental health counselors and therapists
Healthcare workers and ER staff
Probation and parole officers
Educators and school administrators
Government employees and legislators
Anyone who meets with clients who didn't choose to see them
You don't need a security background. You don't need tactical training. You need a system — and 60 seconds before your next meeting.
Developed by Trevor Thrasher — former Green Beret, SWAT Officer, and Counter-Terrorism Contractor. These aren't theoretical concepts. They're the same frameworks he used to keep people alive during high-risk missions overseas, adapted specifically for professionals like you.
He has trained special forces units, major law enforcement agencies, Fortune 100 companies, and thousands of everyday professionals who face dangerous people as part of their job.
Because the professionals who need this most — judges, counselors, social workers — are the least likely to receive any meaningful safety training from their employers. This guide exists to fill that gap. It's the same material used in paid seminars and private consulting engagements, compressed into a free resource that could save your life.
You'll also receive free access to the Threat-Proof Newsletter — real-world case breakdowns, advanced safety protocols, and early access to new training. Opt out anytime.
For Your Organization: This guide gives you the framework. The seminar gives your team the training.
Trevor delivers the Threat-Proof Professional Seminar live and virtually — customized to your specific profession, threat environment, and people. Whether your team works in courtrooms, clinics, schools, government offices, or the field, the seminar builds on the 5 Protocols with real-world video analysis, scenario-based training, and the Condition Orange Gap exercises that turn awareness into action.
Available as a 60–90 minute seminar or half-day hands-on workshop.
For You Personally: The protocols in this guide are adapted from the Street S.M.A.A.R.T.S. Pro system — the complete personal protection certification course built for everyday people with real jobs and real families. If this guide opened your eyes to what's possible in 15 pages, the full system will change how you move through the world. 105 pages. Video training. Certification. At your own pace.

Your next high-risk meeting could be tomorrow. The next unscheduled visitor could be today.
60 seconds of preparation can change everything.
