PersonalSafetyTactics.com was created by Blue Training Systems to address the needs of civilian safety. It is PST’s goal to provide you with your own tools and tactics to be able to prevent, detect, and deter unwanted criminal behaviour from affecting your daily lives.


Clive Milligan (Sgt Ret.) is the creator of PST by Blue Training Systems. He served as a police officer for more than 28 years and was a Use of Force Instructor for over 15 years. (Okay, this is obviously me writing this, so now I will switch to “I”)!

For decades, I trained police officers to protect themselves and, in turn, protect the public from crime and violent offenders. Unfortunately, we could not be everywhere all of the time to help protect everyone. Citizens often asked me what they could do when confronted by criminal behaviour or threatening situations, or better yet, how to prevent them from happening.

Information and knowledge are powerful tools. Criminals share information all the time to increase their success rates, avoid apprehension and gain advantages over victims. Law-abiding citizens need to effectively share information as well to help them in their daily lives.

The facts, lessons, and Tactical Tips shared here are designed to help you become more prepared and also feel more confident when imagining, preventing, and possibly facing—the uncomfortable realities of crime and victimization.

The goal is simple:

Be Prepared, Not Scared.
Be the Cause, Not the Effect.
