Overview
This course is intended for personnel who will be providing Executive/Dignitary/VIP/Witness Protection services to a variety of clients (governmental or private). Individuals will be required to pass the test for Standard First Aid and CPR, as well as the handgun and shotgun qualification courses. In addition, all students should be prepared to experience the effects of OC spray.

“Please be advised under the Private Security Act (Occ. Code Chapter 1702) and Administrative Rule 35.4 (37 Tex. Admin.
