Our expert consultants are former law enforcement officers. Our clients include private individuals, business owners, executives, celebrities, professionals, doctors, lawyers, politicians, public and private sector businesses and organizations.
We also offer public safety consulting and training. Many public and private entities today require professionally trained and equipped law enforcement officers on their premises. We arrange government approval for local businesses and organizations to participate in the official Special Patrolman Program. This is a unique public safety program that authorizes the formation and operation of an in-house peace officer force.
Our experts arrange all licensing and training for your designated employees to be deputized as Special Patrolmen by the New York City Police Department. Special Patrolmen are peace officers as provided for by NYS law. Our police science instructors are licensed by NYS Department of Criminal Justice Services and the Bureau of Municipal Police to teach peace officer and firearms courses.
