About Our Company
JP Law Enforcement & Safety Training offers comprehensive services for law enforcement, security, executive protection, and emergency medical services professionals.
The mission of our company, run by a dedicated family, is clear: to provide current and relevant training for professionals in law enforcement, emergency services, security, and executive protection, as well as individuals committed to safeguarding themselves and their loved ones.
Our lead trainers bring real-world experience from high-risk assignments and protector roles. The training is not solely theoretical but rooted in practical, hands-on knowledge.
With over 47 years of combined experience in training and coaching across various disciplines, our coaching methods prioritize the specific needs of the audience.
Founded in 2017, JP Law Enforcement & Safety Training, LLC set out to provide training that enhances the safety of those who serve the public. Having successfully trained law enforcement, emergency services, hospital staff, security personnel, and civilians, the company has operated continuously since its founding. Following the partnership transition in March 2024, the company now serves an international clientele.
