Get a job in Security in Arizona

Looking for a Security Job in Arizona?

According to the U.S. Labor Statistics Investigation and Security industries indicate substantial growth for the next 15 years in both the public & private sectors.  

As an owner of a security agency in Arizona and a training director my perspective on getting a job in the Security field is unique.  I trust the following tips will help you navigate the hiring process and give you the edge in the sea of new applicants to the growing security fields.


Here are some tips on how to get hired:


1. Education
Education separates a stagnant individual from one who understands that advancement comes from being able to offer a company more.  


2. Training
Training demonstrates a level of commitment and is an indication of discipline, professionalism and work ethic.  Your training will also significantly influence your attitude, confidence and how you carry and conduct yourself.


3. Experience
Experience is an indication of ability and one's capacity for teamwork.  It is a good qualification because you've most likely already learned from your mistakes and will ultimately save the company that expense.


4. Research 
Research will equip you to align your personal resume, ability and objectives with that of the company.  You can better position yourself to solve a problem or meet a need of the company.  This will in turn put you in a better position from which to negotiate your pay and/or benefits.


5. Network
Networking gets you out there in the mix.  The security industry is growing, but as with any industry, it has an active core of people doing the majority of it.  Furthermore, you can increase your contacts, resources, determine specialties and can leverage those if the need arises.  One of the strongest influence hiring factors to recruiters is a referral from a trusted source.


6. Build your reputation
In time, you can build a network of trusted associates.  If you demonstrate yourself to be a trusted, competent professional and a pleasure to work with, you will certainly be presented with more opportunities.  The security industry frequently refers business or sub contracts services.

7. Get recommended

Some companies like ours might offer you a reference or letter of recommendation for placement.

No matter what your career goals in security you are wise to choose such a growing field. Well trained and experienced Security Professionals futures are very bright indeed. Even if you do not choose our company for training, do yourself a favor and choose wisely.

Best wishes and stay alert, safe and strong. In the end, we are all on the same team.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. In times of transition and uncertainty it’s nice to have help in your corner.

Anthony Miles“ Please accept my nomination for John Nottingham as Security Professional of the year.

My name is Anthony Miles. I have had the privilege of working with John Nottingham over the last 9 years. I must say that he is one of the very best security minded people I have ever come into contact with. His system for dealing with assessment of risk, removing yourself from danger and eliminating threat were ahead of their time when I first heard of them 8 years ago and are still out front of the wave. Nottingham's credentials are impeccable, he is a 6th Degree Black Belt and Senior Master Instructor, former Army Special Forces Airborne Ranger, where he tested and taught combatives at full speed with full force, which gave him the feedback needed to gain truth in conflict and develop a highly effective system.

Nottingham is a gifted teacher and is constantly continuing his educating and adjusts his approach based on real world risk based scenarios and ways to effectively eliminate threat. If you have not had the pleasure of being in one of Nottingham's VIPER Street Combat Training intensives, It will change you forever as it did for myself, my wife and everyone who I have seen go through the program. A version of his training system is listed on listed on the TRS Direct website. Although, I do not agree with how they present and market his materials in a very stylistic and quick gimmicky manner, Nottingham's systems are loaded with real, simple and easy to comprehend and use strategies and techniques for keeping yourself out of danger. His strategies for training make sure you have what you need in crisis.

Thanks you for your time and the consideration.

Best regards,
Anthony Miles

First week at new tactical training firm

John Nottingham, PI

Assistant Director of Training

The first week has been comprised mostly of getting familiar with goals, objectives and the direction of the team.  Conducting some research, I found most of the local firms who trained are highly specialized or don't offer much in the way of advanced training.

I made several presentations with concepts and ideas to implement.  They seemed to be well received thus far.  They like my existing training programs, outlines and format from NTS and NSAS.  We should be able to easily incorporate my research into this new project.  Still waiting to see what that is worth to the firm and work out the details of using my programs.  I look forward to good things.

Proposing names and basic logo design ideas the Chief settled on the name HELIX TACTICAL.  Not only does it have a nice ring, it is short, easy to remember and seemed to be original.  That should make it a better choice for a url and branding.

My interviews with staff and clients have indicated a need for professional training as a means to advance careers, improve job opportunities and pay.  Another goal is to make the training enjoyable and remarkable to the point where clients become raving fans.  I know that if we can create the best training experience that they will refer others and our program will grow.

Stay strong. Stay safe.
