About Us

At D-Prep Safety, we have assembled a team of master trainers to provide high-quality, effective virtual and in-person trainings at a reasonable price point. We bring decades of subject matter expertise in diversity, equity and inclusion, legal reviews, counseling, law enforcement, crisis communication, threat assessment, conduct/discipline, and human resources.

 

Dr. Brian Van Brunt and retired ATF Special Agent Nina Delgadillo have trained hundreds of BIT, CARE, and threat teams as well as thousands of counselors, case managers, law enforcement officers, SROs, teachers, administrators, Title IX investigators, and accommodations staff. These communities and individuals span workplaces, law enforcement agencies, mental health clinics, K-12 schools, and colleges/universities. Over the decades they have learned the importance of offering uniquely tailored trainings to better support the needs of each community they train, both virtually and on the road. Bethany Smith coordinates and supports this work through the development of expert systems, supplemental materials, and innovative technology solutions to complex problems.

Since 1997, D-Prep has provided training and consulting services for critical incident response, disaster preparation and emergency response to law enforcement personnel, K-12 school districts, higher education, local governments, and property management companies nationwide. We have taught over 70,000 law enforcement and civilian students who consistently evaluate ours amongst the highest rated classes currently being offered.
