CONTACT US FOR SECURITY GUARD SERVICES
When you send for a Vigilant Tiger certified security officer in Colorado Springs, you are sure to get one of the most highly-trained security professionals in the state. All our security officers are either former/active police or former/active military veterans, and in several cases, they’re both. Our security officers have gone through Police Academy level training and many are Colorado P.O.S.T. (Peace Officer Standards and Training) certified.
This means they have at least the same training as police officers and sheriff’s deputies, so having one of our security officers on your detail is like having your own private police officer at your service, ready to jump into action at a moment’s notice.
Our supervisors all have concealed carry licenses and each of our security officers is certified for CPR and Basic Life Support. They have also undergone a thorough background check with fingerprints cleared by both the FBI and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
In addition to the base qualifications and certifications we demand from our security officers, once they are part of our team, they undergo additional training administered by Army Special Forces professionals and Law Enforcement SWAT professionals. This training includes both armed and unarmed security guard training, basic pistol training, advanced pistol/shotgun training, personal close-protection training, home defense training, first aid training and much more.
Each of our security officers is:
- Former/Active Law Enforcement Officer and/or Combat Military Veteran
- Colorado Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) Regiment
- Basic Security Officer Certified
- Armed/Concealed Carry Certified (Applicable to Supervisors)
- CPR-certified
- Basic Life Support (BLS) Certified
- Basic Colorado Revised Statute (CRS) Trained
- Active Shooter/Rapid Emergency Deployment (RED) Trained
- Basic School Resource Officer (SRO) Trained
- Mace/Pepper Spray Certified
- TASER Certified (Applicable to Supervisors)
Along with our dedicated, high-quality service and years of security experience, it is our training that truly sets us above the rest when it comes to security. Most security companies only require their employees to go through a weekend of basic training, which is very little compared to the extensive security guard training we provide for our security officers in Colorado Springs.
