At Monterrey Security, state-certified training is just the beginning of the training our guards receive. Our Illinois training program, for example, surpasses the State's minimum training requirements. Our guards receive additional training in methods of securing buildings, project sites and vehicles, identifying potential threats, crime prevention techniques, rules and regulations for security officers and appropriate state and municipal laws. Most of our competitors offer only the State of Illinois required minimum 20 hours of classroom training. We also offer clients the option of site-specific training for all guards before they are cleared to work a client's site.

Because Monterrey Security uses only trained law enforcement officers for armed security services, every armed guard Monterrey deploys is guaranteed to be an active law enforcement officer with a minimum of 600 hours of police and firearms training-including annual re-qualification in the use of deadly force. In contrast, other security companies use civilians who have had as little as a one-time 40 hour training course in the use of firearms as armed guards.

At Monterrey Security, if our employees don't carry a badge, they don't carry a gun.
