Why Take Use of Force Training?

 Use of Force certification can strengthen your professional qualifications and prepare you for security roles where additional training may be required or preferred.


Training can help you:

  • Expand your security and protective-services skill set
  • Improve your understanding of Use of Force decision making
  • Develop greater confidence in challenging situations
  • Build practical subject-control and handcuffing skills
  • Improve awareness of personal and public safety considerations
  • Demonstrate additional professional training to prospective employers
  • Prepare for security assignments with increased responsibilities


Training does not replace good communication.


In fact, one of the most important skills is recognizing when a situation can still be resolved without physical intervention.

Who Should take this course?

This program is designed primarily for people working in security, protective services and related occupations, including:

Licensed Security Guards

Loss Prevention Personnel

Event and Venue Security

Door and Hospitality Security Personnel

Mobile Security Personnel

Private Investigators

Personal Protection Personnel

Security Supervisors

Students preparing for careers in protective services




Employers looking to strengthen their team's Use of Force knowledge can also arrange group training. 

De-Escalation Comes First

 Good Use of Force training is not about turning every confrontation into a physical one.


Quite the opposite.

 Security professionals should understand how communication, positioning, situational awareness and de-escalation can reduce the need for physical intervention.


Use of Force training adds another layer to that skill set by helping participants understand their response options when circumstances change and intervention may become necessary.

 For professionals who want additional communication-focused training, AC Security also offers De-Escalation & Non-Violent Crisis Intervention Training.

Build Your Security Career

Additional training can help security professionals prepare for more specialized assignments and demonstrate a commitment to professional development.


Use of Force training can complement experience in areas such as:

  • Retail & Loss Prevention
  • Event Security
  • Hospitality Security
  • Mobile Security
  • Protective Services
  • Security Supervision


One certificate will not turn someone into an action-movie hero.


That is probably for the best.


What professional training can provide is a stronger understanding of safety, judgment, control and responsible decision making.
