TACTOLVE Lite™
2-Hour Foundations of De-Escalation and Professional Safety
TACTOLVE Lite™ is a 2-hour, online, self-paced training designed for frontline professionals by frontline professionals.
As a foundational version of the TACTOLVE® training system, it establishes essential baseline knowledge in de-escalation, situational awareness, and professional safety, supporting safer interactions and better decision-making in high-stress environments.
TACTOLVE Lite builds shared understanding across roles and organizations. Those seeking advanced skills and professional certification should pursue the full TACTOLVE® program.
Who TACTOLVE Lite Is For
While agencies seeking comprehensive skill development, advanced application, and certification should pursue the full TACTOLVE® certification, TACTOLVE Lite is an ideal solution for organizations that:
- Have limited training budgets
- Operate with limited staffing or manpower
- Need to train all personnel, not just select roles
- Want a practical, accessible level of training for broad staff coverage
- Are establishing a baseline standard for safety, communication, and de-escalation
TACTOLVE Lite allows agencies to ensure that every staff member receives meaningful, consistent foundational training, even when time, funding, or operational constraints limit access to more extensive programs.
This makes it particularly well-suited for:
- Public safety support and civilian staff
- Healthcare and behavioral health professionals
- Social service and community intervention personnel
- Educators and campus staff
- Security, transportation, and municipal employees
- Caregivers and community-based organizations
TACTOLVE Lite provides maximum reach and impact while remaining realistic, scalable, and sustainable for organizations of all size
