Training Practices and Philosophy

Our philosophy is that through a combination of classroom and on-the-job training our officers will have the tools and knowledge needed to succeed. The success of our business model originates in our commitment to our staff and their development. GMCS considers comprehensive training programs to be one of the most important ingredients to our dynamic growth and successful reputation. We believe that the better each officer is trained, and the more on-going coaching they receive, the better protection and service they can provide.

Security Officer Training

Important Note: Each state has different requirements for licensing security guards.

Without exception, every GMCS officer receives training above and beyond individual state requirements. It’s essential that each GMCS officer meets our standard of excellence before being deployed on any assignment, and that begins with our training. We require our officers to get trained in security guard roles, ethics, and conduct and go through a program which trains them in the following:

Class third wide center

  • Basic Legal
  • Verbal and Written Communication
  • Investigation
  • Patrol
  • First Aid/ CPR
  • Emergency Situations
  • Security Management Techniques
  • Security Communications
  • Guest Services Techniques

Supervisor Training

Supervisor TrainingOur industry leading supervisor training course was developed by professionals with two goals.  The first goal is to increase the level of safety and security knowledge and expertise. The second goal is identifying people with management characteristics and teaching them the knowledge and skills to become effective supervisors and managers. The training is part of our comprehensive professional development program for people with the motivation and desire to better themselves.  An officer’s advancement and compensation depends largely on their own ambition, and the program is designed to motivate our personnel to better themselves as security professionals and reward them for their progress.
