Security Officers working in the State of New Jersey are now required to be licensed, certified and trained by State Certified Security Instructors.

Our instructors are currently taking part in mandatory N.J. State training. Once that is completed, we will be able to offer you the same quality of instruction we have been providing to New York State security officers since 1994. Please call for additional information about security classes at our facility, or On-Site at your facility.   Tel: 1-888-793-7328.
