Win on the street & in the courts.
Firearms training and risk management from Michigan's training partner for institutional armed security programs. You manage your people. We'll manage the training.
Every organization employing armed security personnel faces two responsibilities.
Prepare officers to prevail
Provide realistic training that builds confidence, judgement and performance under stress.
Protect the organization
Maintain documented, defensible training records that can withstand legal scrutiny.
After every critical incident, someone will ask:
How was this officer trained?
Center Mass helps your organization answer that question with confidence.
We manage the entire program.
Your staff manages your personnel. We manage the firearms training.
Center Mass trains nuclear power plant security operators, hospital security officers, house of worship security teams and every sort of armed security professional in between — at our facility or yours.
