Welcome to the eleventh episode of RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Writer at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.
Justin has a great episode in store for you all! Why? Because it was recorded right after RIMS staff had a full day of active threat training led by today’s guests: Steve Smith and Dustin Miller of Guardian Defense. Both Steve and Dustin are full-time police officers in the Fort Lauderdale Police Department (and have been for more than 12 years.) Steve is the company’s founder and president, and Dustin is one of the team members and instructors.
Steve and Justin discuss active threat safety and preparedness — taking the topic to a whole new level.
