Basic security training includes Jurisdiction; Customer Service; Constitutional Law; Criminal Law; Civil Law; Authority to Apprehend; Use of Force; Deadly Force; Weapon Retention; and Basic Life Support to name a few.

Our officers are also trained in Less Than Lethal options which include verbal judo, taser, pepper spray (OC), and baton.
