About US

Who We Are:

Our staff is led by our Director of Training Bill Deen. Bill has spent the past 30 plus years in service to the country beginning as Military Law Enforcement moving on into the U.S. Army Special Forces and finally as an individual operator working for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. Bill has put together an adjunct team of Military and Law Enforcement Special Operators to provide current and relevant training covering all personal protection skill-sets. The protection training Proteus Training Institute (PTI) provides is based on a truthful and logical expression of the threats presented in today’s world. Each course is driven by legal parameters and focused on achieving training excellence. The curriculum is drawn from the real-world experience and training of our Director of Training and his adjunct instructors obtained through current and past operations in the U.S. and hot spots around the globe. PTI stays on the cutting edge of the threat environment due to the reach back from our government, military and law enforcement contacts in the operational and intelligence community.

Our Mission:

To create enduring relationships and make a positive difference for our clients. PTI works tirelessly to increase the capability of our clients in their pursuit of becoming personal and professional security providers. At PTI we are very aware of the investment our clients are making to increase their capability and we invest our time, knowledge, and experience to walk each one of our clients along their path. We understand that to increase our clients’ capability we must also increase their capacity. Both are achieved through our training methodology. We care very deeply about helping our clients shorten the timeline to the highest level of professionalism and performance achievable.

Our methodology:

Centered around the three prongs of knowledge transfer: procedural, conceptual, and propositional knowledge. Simply put, the how, why of the principles taught as well as developing the capacity to know when it is right. We advise our clients during the development of a personal/family protection strategy that fit their needs and lifestyle. We assist our clients in reaching their protection goals through instruction in our self-protection principles. We enable them, through the development of skills, capabilities and physical capacity, to apply those skills in a self-protection situation. All of this produces Capable Citizens Protectors, confident in their ability to effectively protect themselves and their loved ones.
