Being an unarmed security guard is an honest, respectable way to make a living. There is job security in security; good officers are always in demand, it’s a great way to meet people, and it can be a springboard to many different careers in the security industry.
Most states require that unarmed security guards be licensed; proof of having taken a minimum of number of hours of state-certified classroom instruction on roles and responsibilities, passing a final exam, and clearing a background check to earn a Guard Card.
An unarmed security guard is the entry-level position in the industry. Defencify offers the state-approved content required for new hires to earn their license in an online, self-paced model.
Currently certified in ten states, the Defencify platform substitutes expensive live classroom instruction for convenient, consistent, and modernized remote unarmed security officer training. Defencify is the easiest and most affordable way to get guards into the field faster.
But there’s more to being a security guard than what must be covered in the state-required training modules to earn a license. And most people don't want to be a frontline security guard forever; they want to move up the corporate ladder and transform their guard jobs into careers in security.
Continuing education opportunities are key to career development and employee retention, and a great tool to combat the number one issue facing private contract security firms: turnover.
Some subjects, like firearms and explosives training, bodyguard techniques, and self-defense tactics can only be taught through hands-on instruction. Others, like command center training, need to be performed on-site to practice with the actual equipment and technologies in use.
However, there are multiple topics that can be transformed into online digital content for consistent, anytime consumption by all employees. Some of these modules are designed to increase the efficiencies of management, others are for the betterment of employees, but all aid in enhancing job performance and retention.
