Thank you again to @GTSCoalition for the Excellence in Prevention Award. Preventing violence and attacks before they happen is vital, the problem has never been attention, it was infrastructure. The First Preventers Framework was missing. Google it. awareity.com/2025/12/17/exce…

Are you tired of adding more status quo security with lipstick? Security hasn't fundamentally changed since castles, cameras and alarms just replaced people on the wall. All of it still waits for the threat to arrive, not stopping it before it arrives.

The full moon was "teed up" in Vegas!!

Lots of people talking about preventing shootings, suicides, acts of violence, abuse, bullying, drugs, trafficking, etc...BEFORE they happen. Here is how to turn talking into actions & prevention. "This Must Stop" needs First Preventers/tools. securitysolutionswatch.com/I…

Hello Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde @DallasISDSupt I hope you will contact me directly so I can share successes on school safety vs. school security. Also would like to share strategies about First Preventers helping your First Responders. awareity.com/first-preventer…

Hello @GregAbbott_TX please contact me. Another school shooting in @dallasschools and one-year ago today there was a student walkout at the same high school due to lack of security and safety. The First Preventers Framework is needed. awareity.com/first-preventer…

Imagine preventing incidents and tragedies before they happen. Curious to see forward-looking solutions that are delivering reimagined safety today? @realDonaldTrump @KristiNoem @PamBondi @Kash_Patel @JohnRatcliffe

Hi @Sec_Noem @KristiNoem - loved your story and quote and it is true with making sure communities have what they need to solve unsolved and unrecognized problems leading to increasing acts of evil and tragedies. We have the "post pounder" needed to make communities safer.

Great kickoff speech @KristiNoem and your dad daughter story about "think ahead to give people what they need before they need it" was right on. Communities need First Preventers Framework tools to make people safe again. Let me show you the tools they need, but don't have.

Violence & acts of evil like January 1 requires different solution than security and First Responders. Pre-Incident Indicators and First Preventers leads to Pre-Incident Prevention. Research & common sense prove different results are possible. @SenJohnKennedy @LAGovJeffLandry

Hey @bhorowitz @pmarca can I show you a different proven research-based and common sense solution for achieving radically different and safer future in Vegas and USA's other communities? First Preventers AND First Responders (offense / defense) is gamechanger.

Hi @GovAbbott 2025 is time for different results with school safety, suicides, drugs, sex assaults, hate, trafficking, lawsuits, and more. A different and safer future is possible when existing First Preventers are equipped to prevent incidents before they happen. Ready?

Hi @tracegallagher I heard you talking about pre-incident indicators and prevention before vs weapons detection, wanted to share how 25+ years of research reveals common blind spots on why indicators fail to be acted on. Happy to share a different approach for different results.

The MORE SILOS the better! Yes, you read that right. After incidents, SILOS (people, sources, incident reporting, resources) almost always had the secrets / pre-incident indicators that could have been acted on. Awareity solves SILOS, biases, and other barriers.
