Topics & Programs

Multiple Areas of Focus. Dozens of Solutions.

The following programs and topics harness the knowledge of our team's collective work experience.

Criminal Activity and Intelligence

Prison Gangs

Locations with high levels of violence and criminal activity unavoidably lead to an increase in prison gangs. As more and more gang members are incarcerated, the violent culture of the streets becomes heightened and exaggerated in the tight confines of prison. Appropriately navigating and addressing these environments becomes of paramount concern to police officers. SCG can provide vital tools and insights to those who address these environments.

Street Gangs

As the popularity of street gangs rise in locations throughout our country, so does reports of criminal activity and related deaths. Fueled through the recruitment of our youth, street gangs pose a threat to our communities in more ways than one. Our training is for personnel involved in protecting or serving our communities and our youth, including law enforcement, school security officers and administrators.

Intel Gathering

Intel gathering has become an integral factor in combatting criminal activity. Information gathered by personnel plays a major role in lowering the recidivism rate for both adults and juvenile offenders and opens the way to positive change and redirection for our communities. Our training provides guidance and insight in how to use intel for the betterment and improvement of our streets.

Operations, Response, and Agency Support

Law Enforcement & Incident Command System

The Incident Command System (ICS) is a concept that drives how incidents, events, and emergencies are handled at all levels of response. ICS thrives on managing the situation by embracing and meeting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timebound) objectives. ICS is a component within the National Incident Management System (NIMS) that is a standardized organizational structure for managing incidents. NIMS is a national standard by which agencies (law, fire, medical), communities (non-profit organizations, faith based organizations), and civilians (community response members) can prepare for and respond to incidents, events, and emergencies. NIMS provides a standard, yet flexible, framework that is applicable across all phases of incident management and can be used for any sized incident, event, or emergency.

Law enforcement is often a key component when responding to an incident, event or emergency. Understanding the why (why we use ICS, why ICS works, why is law enforcement included in this effort) and what (what is our role, what can we expect, what is the next step), can greatly enhance how law enforcement agencies operate and respond to a situation.

Basic Chaplains Training

Unlike Pastors who minister to congregations with similar likes and beliefs, Chaplains minister to people of many different religious faiths and beliefs, or no religious faith at all.  Their contacts oftentimes place them in situations where there are different cultural backgrounds, cultural identities, including those of education, profession, and political persuasions.  Chaplains are clergy members from any one of various religious faiths who have chosen to minister to people outside the walls of a church or house of worship.  Chaplains enter the ministry opportunity with no personal agenda and with an attitude of a servant.  Chaplains are an extension of Christ’s ministry to all people.

Cultural Diversity

Communities are melting pots for various cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. This mix of people can often lead to difficulties of understanding, rising tension, and an increase in conflict. Our cultural diversity training explores the realities of living and working in diverse communities and offers insight in how to address and help members of these communities.

How to Deescalate Conflict

Hate Crimes

Any member of a community can be subjected to hate crimes based on personal factors such as race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or sexual identity. Because victims of these crimes often feel unsafe, hate crimes are rarely reported. Since no community can truly flourish under the threat of hate crimes, SCG seeks to counter the rising threat of hate crimes by offering insight and training into how to handle the unique issues these crimes entail. In additional to providing general information on what constitutes a hate crime, our training program informs and encourages participants to create safer paths in which victims are more willing to report hate crimes for the health and safety of our communities.

Anti-Bullying

Bullying is increasing in every city across America, and in a variety of forms.  In order to combat this growing problem, steps must be taken to create a more positive environment in schools, juvenile and adult penal institutions,  and also in homes.  Implementing anti bullying programs have shown great results through teaching conflict resolution, increasing positive communication, and raising overall awareness.  Students are taught to focus on their many similarities rather than their lesser differences.
