THE WHY

Welcome to our podcast page! Tips, Tactics, and Tools for a Safer Tomorrow was born out of several conversations between Brink and Tom that always revolved around how they focus on properly educating their clients in order to maximize their effectiveness and customer service. Both companies strive to meet the same end goal and that is to increase the safety and security posture of their clients. Brink’s company, Defend Systems, specializes in physical security consulting and active shooter mitigation training, while Tom’s company, Herring Technology, focuses on being the best security technology integrator in the industry that can provide a one stop shop for any client’s technology needs. The focus of this podcast is to educate and empower people. We discuss everything related to safety and security be it at home, work, church, or the mall. We take an in depth look at security technology, ease of use, reliability, and DIY products for homeowners. Our guests are a vast array of people from very differing backgrounds and unique experiences. They include school security experts, victims of active shooter attacks, rescue task force program managers, risk management experts, facilities personnel, technology reps, federal agents, law enforcement experts, K9 trainers, and on and on. We are extremely passionate about what we do and love to share the knowledge and experience that we have gained as well as that of our phenomenal guests.
