Two of our most requested training’s and consulting requests are on technology innovation in safety and security and surviving the active killer crisis responses.”
“Our business is growing and changing as the country is confronted with the international and domestic terrorist threats and school and public active killer and shooter events.”

We often times lose money on an employee because of our contractual obligations, but we feel that it comes back to us by the way they do their jobs and treat our valued customers.
We pride ourselves on providing the best possible services available at a reasonable price all with the personal touch of the principals.
