What is SAMI-X PRO?
SAMI-X PRO is a customized, comprehensive training system for authorities and professional groups. Our focus is on developing defensive and offensive capabilities for members of authorities and security forces, as well as for interested individuals and teams.
Continuing education is critical for members of authorities and special forces — it helps them stay up to date with the latest techniques, technologies, and strategies in their field. Training content and methods that align with the daily work of authorities follow a dynamic process of constant evolution and adaptation. SAMI-X PRO offers new answers and adapted training concepts for practice. From optimizing daily operations to training for extreme situations — we adapt our techniques and concepts to requirements, proportionality, and the legal framework.
