Description
This course includes all the basic elements required to become certified in the state of Oregon as an Armed Security Professional. The class is taught by an Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) certified Private Security Firearms Instructor and consists of book learning, exercises, and a range component. This course is intended for those looking to become an armed private security provider as well as those who are new hires and need to receive their basic armed certification. Certification is good for 2 years upon application acceptance, however an annual refresher and qualification is required every year. Please bring valid form of government issued photo ID to class.

This course covers a wide range of topics related to the armed security provider.  We have added additional content we feel is critical for anyone wanting to work as armed security officer, including material from STOP THE BLEED, our Oregon Concealed Handgun, and Use of Force training courses.  Upon successfully completing the course students have the opportunity to receive additional course completion certificates for both STOP THE BLEED and Oregon Concealed Handgun at no additional cost.  Just indicate whether or not you would like to receive these additional certifications when checking out. 

Convicted felons, those with a documented history of serious mental illness (individuals can be assessed by instructor for waiver to participate), or that have been convicted of domestic violence are not eligible for participation.  Initial certification requires background check and fingerprinting conducted by Oregon State Police.
