8:00 am – 4:00 pm – Profiling Dangerous People – Phil Chalmers

Phil Chalmers’ training is a favorite among law enforcement and professionals nationwide. Phil will cover several different types of offenders, including serial killers, school shooters, mass murderers, spree killers and family annihilators. He will cover the causes, warning signs and triggers of today’s dangerous killers. He will discuss school shooting trends, help attendees devise a school safety plan, and will examine dangerous and violent youth culture, including the killing of law enforcement officers. He will also teach attendees the myths of today’s serial killers and provide attendees with crime prevention strategies. He will do this by examining hundreds of crime scene photos and active shooting videos, walking attendees through dozens of actual crime scenes. And Phil is the only trainer in the world where convicted offenders call into the class LIVE, to answer questions from attendees. These live calls will come from serial killers, school shooters, and family annihilators. Past attendees have said Phil’s class is the best training of their careers, and Phil is endorsed by hundreds of organizations like the National Sheriff’s Association, and numerous experts in the field like Lt Col Dave Grossman.
