Being a professional security guard requires special training and certification. Arizona Security Group will help you earn your guard card and take a position in the security industry. Here are a few reasons to work with our team.
Arizona Security Group maintains an Arizona Department of Public Safety security guard agency license (1564220). However, we do not engage in, or offer security guard and patrol services. Instead, we hold the agency licenses so that we sponsor unarmed and armed security guards, making it easier for them to obtain their guard cards and find employment.
For firearm training, we have NRA-certified instructors and are an official partner of the US Concealed Carry Association (USCCA).
Our business has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, and we have been honored as one of the Best of Arizona Businesses by Ranking Arizona.
