Advanced Security Officer Training
We have a group of officers who have demonstrated to the company and our clients through their performance that they can be trusted with greater levels of responsibility. In many cases these officers are our site commanders or our roving supervisors. These select officers receive an additional sixteen hours of training which prepares them to be armed officers. After they have completed this training these officers are registered with the state and work sites that have a high degree of sensitivity. Some of the job sites that these officers work are Banks, Privet Establishments, Gated Communities, Industrial Sites both light and heavy, and as members of Personnel Protective Details. Having this cadre of officers gives our existing and new clients greater flexibility in meeting their security needs.
Site Specific Training
Site specific instruction covering rules, regulations, policies, and practices unique to each clients location is provided and encompasses between twenty and thirty hours of instruction.

Annual, in-service training is an absolute necessity in any sound security program. It is what some may call a "refresher" course designed to renew and sharpen skills. Once again, we do not believe in leaving anything to chance. EM Security, in partnership with the client, determines the amount of annual in-service training that will be presented to each assigned security officer.
