Security Training

A+R Tactics deeply appreciates the dedication and commitment security teams for schools, churches, banks, and other institutions demonstrate in continually honing their skills. The importance of consistent training lies in its ability to provide a realistic context for practicing tactical skills, decision-making, and teamwork under stress.

For safety teams, whose primary responsibility is to protect and secure the well-being of patrons, this type of immersive training is invaluable. It helps teams recognize and respond effectively to a range of threats, from active shooter scenarios to other emergency situations, ensuring they are prepared to act when it matters most
