“What Our Graduates Are Saying”
"I just completed my guard card class today and had an amazing experience! As someone who’s naturally shy, I really appreciated how welcoming and comfortable the environment was. Mr. Martin and Mr. Aguila are incredible instructors — they make you feel like family and go above and beyond to make sure you understand everything. I learned so many valuable things, and their teaching style was both professional and down-to-earth. This was honestly the best training experience I’ve had. Highly recommend the Public Safety Institute to anyone looking to get their guard card! I'll definitely be coming back for other certifications soon!"
Nashla Enciso
"Excellent Instruction! Mr. Martin & Mr. Aguila thoroughly explained concepts, provided in classroom practice until all my nerves faded away. They were kind in their corrections always encouraging with a safety first approach to their lessons. On day 2 qualifying at the range, I was nervous but they went slow and steady checking me every step of the way. This enabled me to pass the class with confidence. I highly recommend PSI and cant wait to sign up for the next class!! Stop procrastinating. They will help you!
The classroom itself was clean and organized. I never had to guess about what to do next. The pre class communication was great!"
-Anne Crew
"Man, these fellas are legit, I’m only done with the class portion and I’m writing this review fully confident I will be satisfied with my training. They have the lesson, personal stories and great class material that tied everything together in the end. It felt like you were kicking it with your homies who take their job serious and you learning while kicking it. I checked out 3 other places before settling here. They are by far the most professional and actually wanna help you not just take your money"

Your Instructor
Lead BSIS Instructor
Public Safety Institute
⭐ 30+ Years Experience
⭐ Former U.S. Marine & Police Officer
⭐ NRA Training Counselor
⭐ State-Approved Instructor
When you step onto the range or into the classroom with me, you’re not just attending a course — you are training under real-world leadership, operational experience, and mission-driven instruction.
I bring over 30 years of service in criminal justice and public safety, forged through military service, law enforcement, and decades of instructor leadership. I am a former U.S. Marine (Infantry & Embassy Duty), Police Academy Graduate, Advanced Patrol Officer, and former Police Officer with extensive street-level experience in patrol operations, arrests, vehicle stops, investigations, narcotics enforcement, and officer-safety tactics.
I’ve lived the job.
I understand the consequences.
And I teach accordingly.
As an NRA Training Counselor, POST-certified Firearms Instructor, and State-approved CCW and BSIS Instructor, I have trained and certified hundreds of civilians, security professionals, and public-safety personnel. My focus is not just compliance — it is competence, confidence, and readiness under pressure.
I previously served as Director of a college-level Criminal Justice Program, mentoring and preparing hundreds of students for careers in law enforcement, security, corrections, and public safety. My instructional methodology blends discipline, clarity, biomechanics, and accountability, breaking complex skills into repeatable, pressure-tested systems that perform in the real world — not just on paper or static firing lines.
My instruction emphasizes decision-making, safety, accountability, and performance, ensuring students leave not only certified — but capable.
