The Level II Non-Commissioned Security Officer Certification Is A Prerequisite. The Level III Commissioned Security Officer Training Class (Level III) is a 40 Hour Class.

Our Level III training program is designed to not only minimize the liability of both the officer and the company, but to also give the officer the tactical tools in order to win in an armed conflict. This mandated 40 hour course provides the Level III training and certification required by the State of TxDPS – Private Security Board, which includes both classroom and firearms range qualification. This certification is required to qualify as an Armed Security Officer in the state of Texas. The officer is trained in advanced security techniques and basic firearms topics and laws related to their responsibilities as a Commissioned Security Officer.
