The short answer
Judgmental firearms training may benefit armed security officers, qualified firearms owners, organizational safety personnel, or other adults who need structured practice in recognizing threats, communicating, and making defensible decisions. The best candidates already understand basic firearm safety and want instructor-led scenario feedback rather than marksmanship practice alone.
What to know
Suitability depends on Arrow’s current course rules. Participants should disclose experience honestly and meet any age, legal, physical, or prerequisite requirements. Simulator training may also help supervisors discuss policy and report articulation, but it should not be used to diagnose a participant, certify mental fitness, or promise readiness for every real encounter. People in crisis or prohibited from possessing firearms should obtain appropriate legal or professional guidance before enrolling.
For armed guards, Arizona requires at least 16 hours of initial firearms instruction and eight hours of annual continuing firearms instruction in the weapon used, delivered by a DPS-registered firearms-safety instructor. A simulator session does not replace those statutory requirements unless DPS expressly recognizes the particular component. Ask Arrow whether the class is open to the public, intended for guards, part of another curriculum, or purely supplemental. The course description should state objectives, prerequisites, equipment, certificate, and what it does not qualify the student to do.
