School security assessment and planning
Security assessments, workplace awareness, hazard mitigation, school emergency planning, and resource-management concepts.
School Security Officer Training
A blended certification program combining self-paced online study with required in-person safety, emergency-response, guard, and practical-skills training.
Training for the responsibilities of school security work
The School Security Officer Certification Course is designed to prepare participants for the safety, communication, reporting, emergency-management, and trauma-informed responsibilities that can arise in a school environment.
The linked program uses a blended format. The online module provides the foundation and must be completed before the required in-person components. Completing only the online module does not complete the full certification pathway.
This is private School Security Officer training. It should not be confused with Arizona’s separate statutory School Safety Officer or sworn School Resource Officer roles.

Incident command and emergency management
Foundational Incident Command System and National Incident Management System concepts for initial response and coordinated operations.
Communication and reporting
Leadership, decision-making, effective communication, incident report writing, and use-of-force report writing.

Violence-response preparation
Active violence awareness, surveillance awareness, defensive-spray topics, and response planning.
