β€œWhat Our Graduates Are Saying”

"I would highly recommend the Public Safety Institute for anyone looking for professional and affordable training for a career in security. From start to finish, my experience with this academy was exceptional.

"The instructors were knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about the industry, and their teaching methods were engaging and effective. They made sure to cover all of the essential topics and provided hands-on training that helped me feel confident in my abilities as a security guard.

What sets this academy apart is their commitment to affordability without sacrificing quality. The tuition was very reasonable, and they even offered payment plans to make it easier for students to budget for their education.

The academy also provided excellent resources for job placement assistance, which was invaluable in helping me secure a job shortly after completing the program. I appreciate the academy's efforts to help their students succeed beyond graduation.

Overall, I cannot recommend the Public Safety Institute enough. If you're looking for a professional, affordable, and comprehensive training program in security, this academy should be at the top of your list."

Lead Firearms & CCW Instructor

Public Safety Institute

When you step onto the range or into the classroom with me, you’re not just taking a course β€” you’re training under real-world leadership, proven experience, and mission-driven instruction.

I bring over 30 years of operational experience in the criminal justice and public safety arena, forged through military service, law enforcement, and decades of instructor leadership. I am a former U.S. Marine (Infantry & Embassy Duty), Police Academy Graduate, Advanced Patrol Officer, and former Police Officer with extensive street-level experience in patrol operations, arrests, vehicle stops, investigations, drug enforcement, and officer-safety tactics.

I’ve lived the job. I understand the consequences. And I teach accordingly.

As an NRA Training Counselor, POST-certified Firearms Instructor, and State-approved CCW and BSIS instructor, I have trained and certified hundreds of civilians, security professionals, and public safety personnel, ensuring they are not only compliant β€” but competent, confident, and prepared.

I previously directed a Criminal Justice Program at the college level, guiding hundreds of students into careers in law enforcement, security, corrections, and public safety. My instructional style blends discipline, clarity, biomechanics, and accountability, breaking complex skills into repeatable systems that work under pressure β€” not just on paper.
