County Wide Training Academy
PSB# F01239
Level II $75
8 hours
The Level 2 course introduces you to the industry; will advise you on the laws and regulations you must follow and provides you with a solid foundation and starting point of what private security is all about. You will be given basic instruction on licensing, regulations, procedures, and operations of a security officer/company, report writing, and responding to emergencies, among many other topics.
Level III $250
45 hours
This is a state required 45-hour course as of 10/01/2017. This class is often referred to as “the gun class,” but actually provides 35 hours of non-firearm related topics that everyone needs to know and only 10 hours of firearms training. In our opinion, this class should be the minimum standard for all security persons (armed or unarmed), as the six-hour Level-2 course just is not enough training by any industry standard.
Level III Recertification $90
6 hours
This course covers the required State-Approved curriculum required by The Department of Public Safety-Private Security Bureau in order to Re-Qualify a previously commissioned security officer as having completed a course of study for level III Re-Qualification Training in accordance with Chapter 1702 of the Texas Occupations Code.
Level IV $275
15 hours
This class is required by the state of Texas to allow you to work as a Personal Protection Officer (bodyguard/executive protection), which also allows you to work in plain-clothes and carry concealed while on duty. Many states will not allow security persons to do this, Texas does and this is the class to certify you. Our course is 15 + hours and includes classroom and live fire exercises, weaponless defense, and physical activities.
Baton $50
4 hours
The baton is a great Non-lethal use of force option or tool for security professionals and law enforcement officers. Each course combines lecture, discussion, demonstration, hands-on performance of techniques and testing in a concise and practical manner.

OC Spray $50
4 hours
Commonly called O.C. or “Pepper Spray,” Oleoresin Capsicum is a convenient aerosol spray that is used as a non-lethal protection device. When used before hands-on defense in the escalation of force, there is less risk of injuries to all parties, and in most cases, the proper use results in ending the attack or resistance without having to go to the next level of force.
Handcuff $50
4 hours
The first question you will be asked in a court case is: “Where did you get your training from?” When you or your company says “nowhere, we just bought the handcuffs and carried them;” your case just took a major blow.
We know that anyone can figure out how to lock or unlock a pair of handcuffs, but this course is to ensure that you have been officially taught and certified to use the tools on your belt against a suspect, and that you are covered during a use of force issue.
