The Sargent Business Community (SBC) is proud to feature the Winnipeg Police Service at our upcoming Small Business & Retail Crime Prevention Conference – a full-day event focused on equipping local business owners and staff with the tools and knowledge needed to build safer workplaces and communities.
Panel Presentation: Creating a Safe Workplace – Addressing Verbal Threats, Reporting Incidents, and Ensuring Safety for All
This crucial panel, led by members of the Winnipeg Police Service, will dive into effective strategies for managing verbal threats, de-escalating hostile behavior, and handling aggression in the workplace. Attendees will learn how to remain calm under pressure while prioritizing personal safety and the well-being of employees and customers.
The session will also guide participants through the proper process of filing police reports and legally banning individuals who pose ongoing safety concerns. Real-world insights will be shared on what to expect when dealing with recurring disruptions or harassment.
Additionally, the panel will cover how to respond during robbery situations—especially those involving weapons or threats of violence. From staying safe in the moment to taking appropriate steps afterward, this session is designed to empower businesses to protect themselves and their teams effectively.
Speaker: Winnipeg Police Service
This is a must-attend session for any business owner, manager, or frontline employee looking to strengthen their knowledge of crime prevention and response.
