2. hen it comes to matters involving safety
and security, organizations shouldn’t have
to sacrifice exceptional training to budgets
or geography. For this very reason, the S2
Institute travels, going in-house to meet
client training needs...Your team, your
location, our experts.
As an alternative to sending personnel to S2’s facility for training, most S2 Institute programs can be
conducted on-site at client locations. Bringing S2 programs in-house is a cost effective, efficient way for
organizations to provide expert training for their entire staff while avoiding the costs often associated
with travel–time, money and burdening already busy schedules.
Additionally,by extending invitations to other local agencies with shared or similar training needs,hosting
an S2 course can provide an excellent opportunity to network and solidify relationships with other local
contacts. Many S2 clients have discovered that invitational training sessions are an effective tool for
building trust and confidence between their organization and others.
Since 1998, the S2 Safety & Intelligence Institute has trained thousands of security, intelligence,
and law enforcement professionals in critical public safety topics. With a staff of world-class
instructors, S2 has earned a reputation as one of the world’s premier sources for security and
public safety training.
We provide traditional classroom instruction and hands-on training at our three school locations
in Florida (Largo,Tampa, and Orlando) and public seminar venues throughout the world.Through
our sister company, the S2 Online Academy, we also deliver high quality distance education to
students unable to attend live courses.
In addition to our schedule of public courses, the S2 Institute has conducted hundreds of mobile
training team missions, custom programs, and private training courses for clients worldwide.
