One major issue the private security industry is faced with today is the lack of requirements for its personnel.  We understand that there are many other organizations out there that have the same license we do, but they certainly do not have the same officers that we have.  Since we are also certified by the Ohio Peace Officer's Training Academy as a Private Security school we utilize our own; Commander, Instructors, Armorers, and Paramedics to make sure that each of our officers have an unparalleled level of training and performance.

Armed Security Services

We are frequently asked if there is a distinction between Security Guards and Security Officers.  Assuredly there is a large distinction between the two.  You should think of a security guard as more of a watchman. Security guards tend to be minimally trained. Their only job is to observe and report.  They watch over the situation and report back to a higher authority.  They lack the training needed to confront criminals and to handle the security situation.  They are most likely unarmed as well. 

 

Security officers on the other hand are highly trained and have the skills to handle most any security breech.  Depending upon the security officer’s contract he may be armed or unarmed.  If armed, he has extensive handgun training and is licensed by the State of Ohio to carry the firearm on the security job.  The majority of our officers are all trained as Armed Security Officers.
