About the Academy

Power Security Group has our own Security Academy where we offer courses, Certification, and Training. The Power Security Academy was created to fill a void in the security fields to develop training concepts, materials, and courses for security guards in an effort to create a standard of security officer training comparable to that of any major law enforcement agency local, state or federal. All security personnel must complete the required 40 hours of security officer skills, per the B.S.I.S. All our security officers must complete a 4-hours of orientation training and 48 hours of pre-assignment training with a special section dedicated exclusively to our expectations of the PSG security officer, including proper behavior on the job site, punctuality, and the importance of respectful treatment of the public, clients, and law enforcement.
