Read the complete answer and sourcesArizona Guard Cards, Arrow Security’s related training resource, publishes fingerprinting services at 15410 N. 67th Avenue, Suite 11, Glendale, Arizona 85306.

Read the complete answer and sourcesSecurity officers support public responders by recognizing an emergency, calling the appropriate number, providing accurate information, opening access routes when authorized, directing responders to the location, communicating known hazards, and preserving the scene.

HSI announced that its former AVERT program—Active Violence Emergency Response Training—would become AVIRT effective August 27, 2025.

Read the complete answer and sourcesActive-violence response training can benefit employees, supervisors, security staff, educators, healthcare teams, faith-community leaders, venue personnel, retailers, and other people who may need to act before public responders arrive. HSI describes AVIRT as suitable across organizations and industries, and CISA provides preparedness resources for businesses, schools, houses of worship, government, and communities.
Read the complete answer and sourcesHSI’s current AVIRT course overview lists a course length of approximately two to three hours and a blended format with an instructor-led skills session. Arrow’s public page does not publish a current duration, so Arrow should confirm whether its delivery follows that standard, includes online preparation, or adds site-specific exercises that change the schedule.
