Training & Development

Accepted applicants begin their academy at the Barbier Security Group Training Center, our in house facility dedicated to professional development and skill mastery.

Foundational Instruction
Training begins with BSG’s policies, email etiquette, use of force protocols, report writing, incident documentation, and expectations for professional conduct. This ensures consistency, clarity, and accountability across all assignments.

Physical Training Course
All trainees complete a Physical Training Course that includes a trail run, push ups, sit ups, and additional strength and endurance assessments. This helps determine fitness and readiness for posts that require physical capability and situational awareness.

Core Skills and Defensive Tactics
Trainees receive instruction in:
• Defensive tactics
• OC Pepper Spray
• Taser training
• Patrol operations
• Crisis communication and dealing with difficult individuals

These modules focus on practical, real-world application so agents are fully prepared for the environments they will serve.

Probationary Period
Graduates are designated Security Agents and begin a probationary period. During this time they receive ongoing onsite coaching, field evaluations, and supervision to ensure they meet all BSG expectations.

Advanced and Ongoing Training
All Security Agents participate in mandatory year round training that includes:
• OC, Taser, and Defensive Tactics refresher courses
• Baton and firearms training
• Scenario-based role-playing and simulator-based decision training

These exercises place agents in dynamic, high pressure scenarios where they must demonstrate effective communication, sound decision making, and appropriate use of force. Continuous development is a cornerstone of our service model and a key factor in the quality of the personnel we provide.
