SMITH SECURITY

Security Course
Use of Force Training

Use-of-force training prepares security guards to safely manage situations in which physical intervention, subject control, or defensive tactics may be required on shift. This certification covers legal boundaries, handcuffing procedures, and defensive response techniques that security professionals may need when working at sites with higher safety risks. 

It matters because guards must understand when force is legally justified and how to apply it responsibly to protect themselves and the public. This training is intended for licensed security guards, new guards preparing for specialized site assignments, and professionals whose roles require certified use-of-force competency.
