What our Graduates are Saying

"I just completed my security academy today and had an amazing experience! As someone who’s naturally shy, I really appreciated how welcoming and comfortable the environment was. Mr. Martin and Mr. Aguila are incredible instructors — they make you feel like family and go above and beyond to make sure you understand everything. I learned so many valuable things, and their teaching style was both professional and down-to-earth. This was honestly the best training experience I’ve had. Highly recommend the Public Safety Institute to anyone looking to get their security licensing! I'll definitely be coming back for other certifications soon!"

"Excellent Instruction! Mr. Martin & Mr. Aguila thoroughly explained concepts, provided in classroom practice until all my nerves faded away. They were kind in their corrections always encouraging with a safety first approach to their lessons. On day 2 qualifying at the range, I was nervous but they went slow and steady checking me every step of the way. This enabled me to pass the class with confidence. I highly recommend PSI and cant wait to sign up for the next class!! Stop procrastinating. They will help you!

The classroom itself was clean and organized. I never had to guess about what to do next. The pre class communication was great!"

"Man, these fellas are legit, I’m only done with the class portion and I’m writing this review fully confident I will be satisfied with my training. They have the lesson, personal stories and great class material that tied everything together in the end. It felt like you were kicking it with your homies who take their job serious and you learning while kicking it. I checked out 3 other places before settling here. They are by far the most professional and actually wanna help you not just take your money"
