Successful executive protection agents use a complex set of skills to help protect their principal in dynamic threat environments. Allied Universal’s Executive Protection Training Academy develops highly skilled protection agents equipped to meet the demanding requirements of today’s high-stakes assignments. Our program blends classroom instruction, hands-on field exercises, and online learning to help empower  agents to meet the unique risks facing today’s organizations.
Students build advanced capabilities in threat assessment, protective intelligence, defensive tactics, and executive movement planning – skills that support safer travel, smarter decision-making, and stronger overall risk mitigation. They gain expertise in conducting advances, risk analyses, and management of complex security operations with professionalism and discretion. By focusing on both technical proficiency and situational awareness, our academy produces protection specialists better equipped to enhance organizational safety, uphold privacy, and inspire confidence across every engagement. 

Mailrooms and screening checkpoints are critical access points in your facility – bypassing frontline security to reach critical personnel and operations. Protecting these vulnerable entryways requires highly trained X-ray screeners who can quickly and accurately detect weapons, explosives, and other hazardous items—helping to keep your people, assets, and operations safe.

Enhanced Protection Services provides on-site, online, and e-learning x-ray interpretation courses for screeners operating cabinet x-ray machines. FBI-trained bomb technicians train screeners to identify improvised explosive devices, weapons, and other contraband on an x-ray image. The course emphasizes real-world scenarios, best practices in threat detection, and techniques that enhance both operational efficiency and overall facility safety. Graduates leave prepared to strengthen frontline security and reduce risk across high-volume screening environments.

Active shooter incidents and workplace violence pose a critical threat to organizational safety and security across industries. Enhanced Protection Services’ Assailant and Workplace Violence Training programs prepare organizations to more effectively respond to threats and safeguard employees, visitors, and facilities.

Training programs are customized to each client based on a comprehensive review of security programs and policies. Combining classroom instruction, hands-on exercises, and scenario-based simulations, the program teaches participants how to recognize warning signs, de-escalate potential incidents, and respond decisively during an active assailant situation. Designed for security personnel and staff alike, the training emphasizes situational awareness, emergency communication, and coordinated response strategies, helping organizations reduce risk, enhance readiness, and create a safer, more secure workplace.

Enhanced Protection Services’ online Fire Life Safety training course provides building management, staff, and occupants with a convenient method for the delivery and management of regulatory-compliant emergency preparedness and response training. Our flexible training course serves as a central solution for various emergency scenarios, from natural disasters to power failures.  

Understanding that security needs vary greatly across different environments, we offer customizable canine detection services tailored to meet the specific requirements of each client. Clients can elect to deploy an approachable sporting breed canine, such as a Labrador Retriever, or a herding breed, such as a German Shepherd or Belgian Malinois for a stronger visual deterrent. All breeds selected and deployed by Allied Universal meet the same stringent training and testing requirements. Our adaptability allows us to provide effective security measures for a varied range of venues, from corporate campuses to international sporting events.

Allied Universal utilizes state-of-the-art technology programs to facilitate scheduling and performance management. Our software program, EPay, delivers schedules directly to handlers, notifies them of any changes in real time, allows them to clock-in on post with location confirmation, and stores site-specific post orders accessible to personnel at all times.
