Center Mass, Inc. (CMI) is entrusted by various security clients for the firearms training their employees need. We offer firearms training services covering; nuclear power plant security operators, hospital security officers, house of worship security teams, and every sort of armed security professional in-between. CMI has the experience and resources to take your organization’s proficiency, safety, and readiness to a new level.

As our world becomes more litigious and violent, many armed security providers are investing in enhanced firearms and tactics training as a liability management function that’s also intended to increase the safety of their employees and clients.

To accomplish those objectives security providers must ensure that the trainers they hire are qualified and possess the background, expertise, and logistics to provide this service. Although many training providers exist, very few truly possess the experience necessary to increase the odds of your employees winning the fight on the street and in courtrooms (criminal and civil). If your employee fails at either, your organization could be liable for the training it provided or failed to provide.

CMI is one of the nation’s leading Law Enforcement firearms and tactical training providers. We were pioneers in advocating and conducting patrol rifle and active shooter training long before the law enforcement profession accepted these disciplines. Our students have used our proven training methods to reduce threats to save lives. We proudly credit our reputation and industry longevity to the success of our students.

For those reasons, private security firms have been turning to CMI to provide these services based on our reputation and 25+ years of experience specializing in firearms, tactics, and risk mitigation training. Our training programs emphasize academics, firearm fundamentals, tactics, case law, and organizational liability reduction methods. We aim to impart relevant skills and information that can save lives and reduce organizational liability.

• Guns, ammunition, holsters, body armor, and duty gear.
• Indoor shooting range & classroom facilities.
• Renowned firearm and tactics training programs.
• Armorer services.

We make the process of providing training an extremely easy task for our clients:

TRAINING SERVICES

• Many local security clients send their employees to our regularly scheduled citizen-based training programs open to the public. Click this link to view those programs.
• Some security clients send their employees to our Law Enforcement courses, and others host our training programs at their facilities.
• Finally, our training programs can be customized to meet your company's exact needs. As an example, these two examples illustrate customized programs. The first is for new hires of a huge security firm, and the second is designed for church security teams.
• NEW HIRE FIREARMS TRAINING: This four (4) hour program gives security firms great flexibility in scheduling new hires for training on very short notice. In addition, your new hires receive uniform firearms training that culminates in shooting the same qualification standard that Michigan's active-duty Law Enforcement Officers must pass. Although the possibility exists that your new hire may not pass the qualification course of fire, it is remote. Our instructors are extremely talented and accomplish what takes dozens of hours for police academies to teach cadets in four (4) hours of quality training with your new hires. We believe our training process and using this standard gives our clients risk mitigation efforts at a level of credibility and validity if your practices are ever called into question.
• PLACE OF WORSHIP FIREARMS DEVELOPMENT AND ACTIVE SHOOTER WORKSHOP: This three (3) hour program combines a one (1) hour active shooter seminar and two (2) hours of fundamental handgun training.
• The seminar provides armed church security teams with information that can help deter, identify, and respond to violence, including methods that will assist with the eventual response of law enforcement.
• The firearms training includes a review of safety-related issues, basic marksmanship, reloading, clearing a malfunction, and drawing from the holster. It culminates in live-fire engagements using our training simulator that require the student to use the proper judgment in the use of deadly force (shoot /don't shoot) while engaging moving threats among innocent persons fleeing from active assailants.
