Sentinel Security Group, LLC conducts a variety of firearms certification training for our own armed security officers as well as for outside security personnel. The philosophy of Sentinel’s firearm training program is to prepare the student for predicting and avoiding a gunfight, however in the event a lethal encounter cannot be avoided, the objective is to manage the outcome of a gunfight by winning quickly.

In addition to Armed Security Services training, our Sentinel Security Group instructors teach courses for the beginning unarmed security guard: PS 108 and PS 208.

These two courses were specifically developed to take the guard who has never worked a post, into his first assignment as a licensed private security guard.

PS 108 provides an orientation into the private security industry and defines a desirable skill set for the modern security guard. This course includes: methods of observation, crime deterrence, report writing, site specific and general security duties, customer relations, and the legal limits within which a guard must conduct himself while protecting life and property.

PS 208 is tailored to prepare the new guard for the most common security assignments: maintaining post orders, managing confrontations, reducing instances of business interruption, enforcing company policies, controlling access to client property, and conducting effective patrols.

All training is conducted at Sentinel Security Group Headquarters in Shreveport, Louisiana. Instructors can travel however to accommodate groups preferring site based training.
