Security Training& Consulting

Security Training and Consulting is two connected services, not one generic package. Consulting means we evaluate your existing security program, including policies, procedures, and organizational structure, and tell you what's working and what isn't. Training means we build your team's actual capability, from general staff awareness up to advanced security-team certification. Our consultants come from law enforcement, military special operations, and Fortune 500 corporate security departments, so recommendations are grounded in operational experience, not theory.

An assessment identifies where you're exposed right now. Consulting picks up from there, helping you build the policies, procedures, and long-term security program that actually close those gaps. Think of the assessment as the diagnosis and consulting as the treatment plan. We offer both, and most clients who start with one end up needing the other to fully act on the findings.

Corporate offices, healthcare facilities, hospitality venues, schools, and government organizations all use these services, but the trigger is usually one of three things: building a security program from scratch, evaluating and upgrading an existing one, or getting a security team to a higher operational standard. If any of those describe where your organization is right now, this is built for you.

Depending on what your organization needs, GTS's security training and consulting services can include corporate security program development, security policy and procedure review, and security team training and certification programs. Support also extends to leadership and executive security briefings, crisis management and incident response planning, and workplace violence prevention programs, along with security technology evaluation and procurement guidance and ongoing advisory or retained consulting. Most clients don't need every item on this list. GTS scopes each engagement around what's actually relevant to your risk profile.

Yes, this is the standard, not an add-on. A hospital security team and a corporate office team need different skill sets, use-of-force standards, and de-escalation approaches, so we don't run one script for every client. Programs are built around your facility type, staff responsibilities, and daily operations, with tracks ranging from general security team training up to executive-level advisory.

Most organizations schedule a formal review annually, with refreshers or updates sooner after a leadership change, an incident, a new facility, or a shift in operational risk. Security programs aren't a set-it-and-forget-it document. The ones that hold up under real pressure are the ones that get revisited regularly, not filed away after the first engagement.

Look past the sales pitch and check three things: real operational background, meaning law enforcement, military, or corporate security experience rather than just consulting credentials, a track record of customizing programs rather than reselling the same template, and whether they can pair consulting with actual hands-on training. A provider that only does one or the other usually can't close the loop from recommendation to implementation.

Both. Beyond routine program development and training, this service covers crisis management and incident response planning, executive-level security briefings, and scenario-based exercises for leadership, so your organization isn't only prepared for normal operations, but has a tested plan for the moment something goes wrong.

Active shooter training is one focused program under this broader service. Security Training and Consulting is the wider umbrella, covering program development, policy work, team certification, executive advisory, and workplace violence prevention among other things. If your need is specifically active threat response, that's its own dedicated track; if you need the full security program built or strengthened, this is the right starting point.

You'll have a documented, practical security program, not just a binder of recommendations, along with a team that's actually trained to execute it. With 25+ years of operational experience and 500+ engagements behind our team, GTS builds these programs to function as a living framework you keep using, not a one-time deliverable, with ongoing advisory support available as your organization's risk environment changes.
