Security Officer Handgun Refresher Course

The Security Officer Handgun Refresher Course is designed for individual armed security officers who want to maintain and improve the handgun skills necessary for professional security duties.

This course provides focused refresher training in firearm safety, handgun handling, marksmanship fundamentals, weapon manipulation, and practical defensive handgun skills relevant to armed security personnel.

Who Should Attend?

This course is intended for individual armed security officers who want additional training beyond minimum employment or licensing requirements.

It is particularly beneficial for officers who:

• Have not attended formal firearms training recently

• Want to improve confidence and proficiency with their duty handgun

• Are preparing for an employer or agency firearms qualification

• Have recently begun working armed security

• Want additional practice with their duty handgun and equipment

• Recognize the importance of maintaining firearms proficiency throughout their security career

Training Philosophy

Carrying a firearm professionally comes with significant responsibility. Simply passing a qualification does not necessarily demonstrate proficiency in every skill an armed security officer may need.

This refresher course focuses on reinforcing safe, competent, and responsible handgun handling while helping each officer identify strengths and areas that require additional practice.

Train for the responsibility—not just the qualification.
