Nikki Burgett spent most of her career in the private sector working to prevent workplace violence. After making the transition into law enforcement and completing her master’s in criminal justice behavioral science, she now assists organizations and private individuals as a Behavioral Threat Assessment Specialist, Firearms Trainer, and Security Consultant.  Nikki is also a contract instructor for a government agency, where she works with partner nations teaching anti-terrorism courses in countries such as the Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Tunisia, Mali, Central Africa, and Bangladesh. Becoming proficient at identifying threatening indicators and responding is not only part of her job, it is how she maintains her own safety while working abroad.   Nikki’s background in behavioral science has shown her that without the right mindset, physical tactics are ineffective, and this is where a lot of training fails. Her goal is to provide individuals and organizations with the tools to change mindset, so they are capable of planning for, preventing if possible and responding to when necessary, acts of violence.
