Rangering 101

Foundational training for event Rangers

Rangering 101 is built as required training for community safety volunteers — Rangers — at event gatherings, teaching the practical skills needed on the ground rather than general theory. It centers on de-escalation and communication, the two things a Ranger relies on most in the field.

What's covered

• What to bring on a Ranger shift
• How to use a radio effectively
• The instructor's FLAME technique for handling situations calmly
• Additional tools and approaches for de-escalation

Who it's for

Volunteers preparing to Ranger at a community event — originally built for the 2019 LOVE BURN — and the instructor notes the course can be adapted for other events' ranger programs on request.
