Prepare Your Workforce Before an Incident Happens
Professional Corporate Security Training
USENTRA Security Services delivers corporate security training programs that are designed for the real environments our clients operate in, not classroom theory written for a different generation of workplace threats. Our courses are taught on-site at your facility by instructors who have spent decades responding to the kinds of incidents your team is hoping never to face, and the training is built to leave your employees calmer, more aware, and better equipped to make good decisions during the seconds that matter most.
TRAINING PROGRAMS
Specialized Corporate Security Training
Every organization has a different risk profile, workforce and physical environment, which means an effective training program looks different from company to company. The programs below can be delivered as standalone sessions or combined into a broader training curriculum, and every program is conducted on-site at your facility so the learning environment matches the environment your employees will be operating in if an incident occurs.
Workplace Violence Prevention
This program focuses on recognizing the warning signs that precede violent incidents and giving employees the tools to report concerns through appropriate channels before a situation escalates. We cover behavioral red flags, threat assessment basics, the role of management in receiving and acting on reports, and the documentation practices that protect both employees and the organization.
Active Shooter & Armed Intruder Training
This program prepares employees to recognize the warning signs of an active threat, make rapid decisions under pressure, and take protective action that aligns with current best practices from federal and state law enforcement. Sessions cover the run, hide, and fight decision framework, building-specific evacuation and lockdown procedures, communication protocols during an incident, and the immediate steps that follow once law enforcement arrives on scene.
Conflict Resolution and De-Escalation
Most workplace incidents do not begin as violence. They begin as conflicts that escalate because no one in the room knew how to slow the situation down. This course teaches your employees the verbal techniques, body language adjustments, and decision points that allow them to defuse confrontations involving customers, patients, coworkers, or visitors. It is particularly valuable for client-facing teams, healthcare workers and managers who handle disciplinary conversations.
Situational Awareness & Personal Safety Training
This program is designed for employees who travel for work, work alone in remote settings, work non-traditional hours, or otherwise face elevated personal safety considerations as part of their day-to-day responsibilities. Topics include situational awareness in unfamiliar environments, transportation safety, hotel and lodging security, and protective decision-making when something does not feel right.
Joint Commission Compliance Training for Healthcare
Healthcare organizations operate under specific accreditation requirements that include documented security and workplace safety training for staff. Our Joint Commission compliance training is designed to meet those standards while also delivering practical instruction that prepares clinical and non-clinical staff for the security situations that occur regularly in hospital and outpatient environments.
Mechanical Restraint Training for Healthcare
For healthcare facilities where staff may be called on to assist with patient restraint, our mechanical restraint training provides the certified instruction required to perform these procedures safely, legally, and consistently with current clinical standards. The training is delivered by instructors with both law enforcement and healthcare security backgrounds.

Scott Hemingway, Security Training Specialist
Scott Hemingway leads USENTRA's corporate security training programs after spending twenty-three years with the Rhode Island State Police, retiring as a Lieutenant, and moving into the private security sector to focus on the work he believed could prevent the kinds of incidents he had spent his career responding to. His perspective comes from being in the room when things go wrong, which is what allows him to teach others how to keep things from going wrong in the first place.

Industries We Train Across New England
USENTRA delivers corporate security training to organizations across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. The industries we work with most often include the following, although the program is built to serve any organization that wants its workforce better prepared than it is today.​
Education and Higher Education
Private K-12 schools, boarding schools, prep schools, colleges, and universities that need training programs designed for faculty, staff, and the unique campus environment of an educational institution.
​Manufacturing and Industrial Facilities
Plants and distribution centers where the workforce is large, the shifts run around the clock and the operational environment introduces its own set of safety and security considerations alongside the workplace violence concerns common to every industry.
Corporate Offices and Professional Services
Law firms, financial services firms, technology companies, and professional services organizations where the workforce has not historically thought of itself as facing security risks and now needs to think about preparedness differently.
Religious Institutions and Nonprofits
Houses of worship, community centers, and nonprofit organizations that operate in welcoming environments by design and need training that respects that culture while still preparing staff and volunteers for the situations they could face.
The training programs that produce real behavioral change are the ones that feel relevant to the people sitting in the room. That is why every USENTRA corporate training engagement begins with a conversation about your facility, your workforce, and the specific concerns your leadership team is trying to address. From there we design a curriculum that fits the time you have, the staff you need to reach, and the outcomes you are trying to achieve. Start the conversation today.
CORPORATE SECURITY TRAINING
Frequently Asked Questions
What is corporate security training and why do companies need it?
​Corporate security training prepares employees to recognize, respond to, and recover from workplace security incidents, including active shooter situations, workplace violence, conflict escalation, and emergency response scenarios. Organizations invest in this training because it protects employees from physical harm, demonstrates due diligence to insurers and regulators, and reduces the liability exposure that follows an incident when leadership cannot show that the workforce was prepared. The training is also a meaningful part of how organizations communicate to their employees that their safety is treated as a priority rather than an assumption.
How long does a corporate security training program take?
Program length depends on the scope of the engagement. A foundational active shooter and workplace violence awareness session can be delivered in two to three hours per employee group, while more comprehensive training packages that include scenario exercises and certified instruction across multiple modules typically span a full day or are scheduled across multiple sessions. During the initial consultation we work with your leadership to design a schedule that fits operationally, including options for delivering the same program to multiple shifts and departments without disrupting your businessCall 401-421-0900 or contact us for a customized security quote.
Can corporate security training be delivered at our facility?
Yes. All of our corporate security training programs are delivered on-site at your own facility, which is one of the most important factors in whether the training actually changes behavior. Employees walk through your real evacuation routes, identify your actual shelter locations, and rehearse response procedures in the environment where they will need them. We bring the materials and the instructors to you.
How often should employees be retrained?
Annual refresher training is a reasonable baseline for most organizations, and many of our clients establish a more frequent cadence for high-turnover roles or for employees in client-facing positions where situational awareness and de-escalation skills are part of their daily responsibilities. Preparedness fades when training is treated as a one-time event, so building a regular refresher schedule into your operational calendar is one of the most effective things leadership can do to keep the workforce ready.
What is the difference between general workplace violence training and active shooter training?
Workplace violence training covers the broader range of behaviors and incidents that can occur in a work environment, including verbal threats, harassment, escalating conflict, and the warning signs that often precede violent acts. Active shooter training is a more specific subset that focuses on the immediate decisions and actions employees should take if an armed attacker is present in the building. Most of our clients combine both into a single coordinated program, because workplace violence prevention is what keeps the active shooter scenario from occurring in the first place.
Who should attend corporate security training?
In most organizations, every employee should receive at least foundational active shooter and workplace violence awareness training, because the response to an incident does not depend on job title. Beyond that baseline, certain roles benefit from additional training, including managers who handle disciplinary conversations, HR and security personnel who receive threat reports, front-line staff in client-facing positions, and any employee who works alone, travels for work, or operates in higher-risk environments such as healthcare or behavioral health settings.
