BECOME A PREPARED CITIZEN:
learn and develop your 4 p’s pray - prepare - prevent - protect
WITH OUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS PROGRAMs

When crisis strikes, you are the first responder. The question is, are you prepared to act during the moments that matter most? Those few seconds or minutes when awareness, courage, and faith can mean the difference between tragedy and survival.

Situational awareness and spiritual readiness can save lives, whether it’s a car crash, a house fire, someone following you, or chaos breaking out around you.

Retired USAF Colonel Brian “Patton” Searcy recognized a critical gap in how we prepare everyday people to face today’s unpredictable world. In response, he founded The Paratus Group and created the Paratus 4P Process: Pray, Prepare, Prevent, Protect: a faith-based system that equips individuals and families to live with awareness, confidence, and purpose.

Unlike traditional training that stops at information, Paratus builds transformation. Our proven method develops habits, behaviors, and a mindset of responsibility, grounded in faith and strengthened through practice. At its heart are the 10 Critical Skills every person needs to see danger early, make sound decisions, and act with calm courage.

BECOME A PREPARED CITIZEN

This isn’t fear, it’s faith in action.
This isn’t theory, it’s preparation through prayer.
Join The Paratus Group.
Learn the skills. Live the mission. Take back responsibility.

 
 

“BECOME A PREPARED CITIZEN”

With a copy of Brian Searcy’s “A NATION UNAWARE”

In A Nation Unaware, Brian Searcy, Colonel (Ret), USAF, challenges us to stop outsourcing responsibility for our safety and start becoming prepared citizens. Awareness is only the beginning—what we recognize must lead to sound decisions and purposeful action.

Through the Paratus Process—Identify, Assess, Predict, Decide, Act—and the 10 Critical Skills, the book explores how to strengthen the human capabilities we need to recognize problems earlier, protect our families, and serve our communities. Hope is not a strategy. Preparation is a responsibility.

“…increased my situational awareness to a much higher degree..”

“I have increased my situational awareness to a much higher degree. I am now thinking of strategies, resources, and potential threats when entering a new environment. I have implemented the checklist in my everyday life as well as incorporated tactical breathing in stressful situations such as driving. I have become less naive in my life and more guarded when it comes to people which is positive for me.”
