Won't Announce Itself. Every day without this training is a day your officers rely on instinct instead of science. A sheriff said FOCUS saved his life. Seats fill fast.
Dr. Travis Yates has spent more than three decades inside law enforcement — not consulting from the outside, but working, leading, and training from within. He has seen firsthand what happens when officers encounter violence they were not prepared to recognize.
That is why he built FOCUS. What began as Seconds for Survival evolved into a complete behavioral recognition framework grounded in peer-reviewed science and validated through real-world application. Travis is the founder of the FOCUS Behavioral Risk Framework™ and the Courageous Leadership platform — a recognized expert whose work has reached thousands of officers and agencies across the country.
He does not teach theory. He teaches what works — because the cost of getting it wrong is something no agency, and no family, should have to pay.
In addition to open-enrollment classes, Dr. Yates is available to deliver FOCUS training directly to your agency — on your schedule, at your location, anywhere in the country.
