Meet The Paladin Trainers: Norm Bettencourt

At Paladin, we take great pride in teaching others who may not have had previous experience in security to be able to know how to help others, care for themselves, and create a safe environment. Our Paladin Security trainers are helping people who want to start a career in security understand the tools and techniques needed to manage critical situations. Moreover, we further improve Officer's skills focused on their specific roles, which lead to personal growth and even careers in protection services or Law enforcement. Our security professionals can take full advantage of the training and its application in order to sharpen their skills, knowledge, and abilities to meet a career goal.
