🛡️ The 2026 Campus Safety Initiative is Underway
Through a key safety partnership with MATFORCE, our team is actively deploying baseline 2-hour drug identification classes to Yavapai County school districts.
Pillar 1:
Faculty Training & Certification
Legally compliant, practical training programs that equip school administrators, deans, and general faculty to make consistent disciplinary decisions.
Pillar 2:
Proactive K9 Deterrence
Non-disruptive, unannounced K9 screenings engineered to eliminate predictable contraband patterns. Specializing in high-potency nicotine vapes, THC concentrates, edibles, hidden paraphernalia, and narcotics.
Pillar 3:
Campus Security Audits
A comprehensive, physical and operational risk assessment designed to identify hidden liabilities, harden campus perimeters, and protect district liability.
School Trainings
