Our Mission
and Goals
In these changing times, security training must keep up. At Defense Academics we are always updating our courses, making the corrections that are needed due to law revisions and requests from not only the industry but also Security Officers. Defense Academics prides itself on being an ethical school, where no recruiting is allowed by any security company.
Any company in the Tampa Bay area is free to post one of their business cards on the school bulletin board and they are placed there in no special order. Our instructors will never say which are the best or the worst. Upon request we will let the students know which companies are looking for people at the time of the class. When students have successfully completed their training at Defense Academics, they will be ready to enter the security field as a well trained professional.
