Our ultimate mission is to set the standard in high-threat security in the new and unprecedented industry of medical marijuana. This mission is achieved through employing highly trained individuals to monitor, secure, and preserve all facilities and personnel associated with our client.
Our methodology within security is a direct product of multiple years of high-threat security for U.S. diplomats and high-ranking military officers in hazardous theaters, such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Our experience allows us to have a unique perspective on this new high threat industry materializing in the United States.
Our operators undergo rigorous background checks and security training overseen by the Arkansas State Police and its Institutes of Instructors (IOI). This training includes numerous hours on the firing range with assigned weapons, hours of law and legal aspect training on the repercussions of discharging assigned weapons, and hours spent performing situation training with a simulator.
In addition, all Liberty Defense Group operators must carry a State Police issued license on their person at all times (license must be re-certified annually) that shows they have been through the required training and are up to date on all legal issues involved with the job. Our mobile security operators will be concealed weapons trained and certified by the state and follow ALL state and federal gun laws.
