Prevention is the core of everything OVPS-S does. Our Violence Prevention Unit works upstream — mapping risk, mediating conflict, and training the people already inside your building.
Most violent incidents are preceded by observable warning signs: escalating disputes, boundary testing, grievance behavior, or a breakdown in supervision. Our specialists are trained to read those signals and intervene while the situation is still verbal.
We embed with your staff rather than around them. Prevention specialists build relationships with students, residents, employees, or patrons so that when tension rises, there is already a trusted person in the room.
Trained mediators intervene in live disputes and follow up afterward so the conflict does not resurface.
Structured evaluation of individuals or situations of concern, with documented findings and recommended actions.
Identification of hot spots, high-friction times, and blind corners across your property.
Workshops for staff, youth, and leadership on de-escalation and safe intervention.
