Dr. Travis Yates has pioneered a validated behavioral risk framework to help officers and leaders identify, assess, and articulate risk in rapidly evolving, uncertain situations.
Known as the FOCUS Behavioral Risk Framework™ (Field Observable Cues for Unknown Situations), the model organizes real-time, observable behavioral and environmental cues into a structured risk assessment process. Rather than relying on intuition or hindsight, FOCUS provides a repeatable method for evaluating risks and making defensible decisions under stress.
At the core of the framework is the FOCUS Risk Index™, which prioritizes and weights observable cues to support decision-making, enhance officer safety, and improve post-incident articulation across training, policy, and operational contexts.
Dr. Travis Yates is a powerful voice for police and the communities they serve.
Travis is the best out there…hands down!
The line between preparedness and hyper vigilance gets thinner every day. I don’t know how our LEO’s can function at such a high level of “keep your head on a swivel” mentality over the length of a 20-25 year career anymore. Thank you, Travis, for your relentless mission to keep our officers safe.
Travis makes the class audience come alive when he teaches. It’s not often when officers stay focused on training and once they experience this training, they will yearn for more of it.
This was one of the best classes I have ever seen in my three decades of law enforcement. Major Yates was simply incredible. Thank you for keeping our cops safe!.
This training was simply amazing. I highly recommend it to any agency or conference.
This is some of the best training I have attended in over 40 years of law enforcement.
