Detroit-based hands-on safety consulting firm Safe Sense (313-638-3600) announces that it has joined the National Safety Council to advocate situational awareness as a defense tactic against gun violence and other assaults.

Detroit, United States - July 18, 2024 —

As part of the new safety initiative, the team will share important situational awareness techniques to help reduce gun violence victims in the United States. Sharlene Burris, CEO of Safe Sense, says that the company will be visiting the Detroit/Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties throughout the summer of 2024 to introduce the concept of “personal safety situational awareness” and offer clever and practical tips in developing a “safe sense” to avoid becoming an assault victim.

The initiative comes at a time when gun violence has touched unprecedented levels. Burris explains that the new partnership with the National Safety Council is intended to promote situational awareness as the first step to preventing criminals from targeting individuals who they deem vulnerable. As such, the touring program will teach people from all walks of life to take a more active role in protecting themselves from becoming victims of gun violence, robberies, or physical attacks.

"The lack of safety situational awareness makes individuals vulnerable targets for theft, assault, and other dangers, including gun violence," Burris says.

Traditionally, the National Safety Council has focused on safety in the workplace. However, Burris believes that by incorporating safety self-empowerment into the NSC’s initiatives, more people will be able to reduce their risk of any assault, anywhere.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Safe Sense is an informational resource and hands-on consulting firm that teaches individuals - from K-12 and college students to employees, field service workers, educators, and senior citizens - field-tested core personal safety principles, activities, and real-time applications rooted in common sense, situational awareness, and environmental mindfulness.

As a child growing up in Detroit, and in her former roles as an adjunct self-defense trainer and a parole/probation manager for the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC), Sharlene Burris developed her safety tips, techniques, tactics, and expertise quite organically throughout her life.

Safe Sense has also published two Safety Guides: Safe Sense Field Service Safety Guide - Parole/Probation Officers Edition and Safe Sense Workplace Safety Guide - with more to follow.
