(firmenpresse) - IRVING, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 11/08/11 -- AlliedBarton Security Services, the industry's premier provider of highly trained security personnel, and HR Plus, a leading provider of comprehensive solutions for employment and background screening, in partnership with the University of Phoenix, will host a free workplace violence prevention seminar at the Hilton Garden Inn, 2001 Valley View Lane, Irving, TX, on Thursday, November 10. Breakfast will be provided at 8:30 a.m. with the seminar following from 9:30 - 11:15 a.m.
"None of us want to think about this situation happening in our work environment," said Greg Lilyhorn, security consultant. "However, in light of the increasing number of shootings that occur across the United States, we all must prepare. A lack of preparedness in responding effectively to an active shooter can have disastrous consequences. There are no guarantees against workplace violence, but stressing the importance of open communications with local leaders in partnering to maintain a safe community is our best approach."
"In regards to workplace violence or an active shooter situation, there should not be a question of if it could happen," said Damon Jackson, assistant coordinator of the police academy with the Criminal Justice Center of Tarrant County College. "We now live in a world and workplace that has shown us that the situation will occur. We just need to have a better understanding of how."
Seminar discussion and workshop topics will focus on workplace violence prevention and awareness. Speakers will include: Greg Lilyhorn, security consultant; Damon Jackson, assistant coordinator of the police academy with the Criminal Justice Center of Tarrant County College; Sergeant Thomas Sible, Dallas Police Department SWAT; and Dr. Alex Eastman, emergency room physician at Parkland Hospital.
Attendees will receive a complimentary eBook preview of Bill Whitmore's new book, "Potential: Workplace Violence Prevention and Your Organizational Success" and the full eBook version when it is released later this year.
Potential, , shows how a range of stakeholders -- from CEOs and other senior leaders to building management, human resources, contract security and law enforcement -- can work together to lower an organization's workplace violence risk and enhance its overall morale and performance.
Media interested in attending this event are encouraged to RSVP to the press contact in this release.
