My experience with HPI has been absolutely, positively spectacular from beginning to end…read more I tried for a long time to attend a gun safety and training class for absolute beginners. I found scheduling with other venues to be difficult, if not impossible. With HPI, it's EASY. After booking my first private lesson I received a personal call from the owner himself. He wanted to make sure I felt completely comfortable coming into his place of business, attending a lesson by myself, and to answer any questions I might have. He reassured me that I should feel completely comfortable with all of his instructors, which I have found to be 100% true 100% of the time. My instructor ended up being David Connor. Like the rest of my experience, I only have the incredibly positive feedback regarding David's training. He knows everything under the sun there is to know about guns; and I'm not just talking about the various type of guns and ammo, local shops, accessories, etc. (even though he DOES know and offer all of this knowledge) but David talks extensively about the history of guns going back as far as I can possibly imagine. As an instructor, David is incredibly patient and gifted. He can anticipate needs and fears and truly listens, which is rare and extremely appreciated. He's also incredibly thorough in his instruction and guidance - I have never once felt unsure about what to do or what to expect. Every interaction I've had with someone from HPI has earned MORE than 5 stars. For anyone looking for any type of training, I would absolutely, positively, 100% recommend HPI.

They actually care about the person not the money or situation.

They apparently only hold the class if at least three people show up for the class on the day that it is scheduled to be held! I took three days off from my job for my security firearms certification training on the day that the class was scheduled. When I arrived at the American Security Group office on what should have been the first day of the class, I was told that it would not be held because nobody else showed up. When I pointed out to them that American Security already has one bad review on Google because they pulled this stunt on somebody, the woman in the office responded with, "That's the way it goes". No apologies, no concept of accommodation in any way, just tough s--t. And of course, they got away with it because they are shrewd enough to make sure nothing is on paper. Save yourself a potential hassle and don't even bother with American Security Group for DCJS firearms training. If you need something in the same general neighborhood, go to Colonial Shooting Academy.

Dionne provided our group with classes that were not only informative but allowed for the participants to interact and dissect all subjects. Mark and his team presented even the most challenging subjects in a way that was both informative and interesting. ESS goes above and beyond in all aspects for the course of instruction, from classroom learning and group discussions to hands on training exercises. One of the biggest aspects that I found useful was how current and up to date the classes, equipment and instruction were. As a Professional in law enforcement, I appreciate the how critical this last part is in order to assist, not only the novice entering the Private Investigations field, but also the veteran with the newest tools available in a dynamic and ever changing field. I absolutely recommend Eagle Security Solutions for the individual that wants to hit the ground running, expects the best and wants to start above their peers.
