Good group to work for I worked for over 3 years with ASG good experience builder, and a good way to meet the public while serving them.

Beware of American Security Group if you are going in for training. They do NOT accept payment or paperwork in advance for security firearms training. 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.
