HANDS-ON SECURITY GUARD TRAINING FOR ALL LEVELS

Prevent • Protect • Respond • Recover

About FireWatch Academy

We offer two levels of security training: Basic Security Agent (BSA) training for the novice security agent and Advanced Security Agent (ASA) training for seasoned professionals, including Executive Protection agents.

The BSA training includes medical trauma skills, communication techniques, and teaches skills for effective observation, deterrence, de-escalation, and intervention. The ASA training includes more advanced medical trauma training, instructs the agent on efficient communication tools and techniques, trains for effective interfacing with local EMS and law enforcement in times of crisis, and provides crisis decision making principles so the agent can make effective decisions in novel situations.

Testimonials

"Working with Firewatch has been a huge value addition to our organization. They customized a medical training for our team that was specifically designed to focus on our unique needs and areas of operation. I don’t think we could have found this level of expertise, customization, and excellent service anywhere else. I can’t recommend Brian and his team highly enough."
