Associated Protective Services (APS)

Originated in 1988 by President Steve Brophy, as a small company serving the protection needs of VIP, Celebrity and Executive clients, in 1996 Mr. Brophy and current V.P Mr. Derrick LeVake, met and joined alliances to develop what is today Associated Protective Services, providing clients and associates both nationally and internationally with quality reliable personnel for all their security, investigation and training needs.

Explosives, Chemical/Biological Weapons

This course emphasizes detection, not disposal, of explosive threats. Methods of search techniques are covered as well as preventive procedures to implement as policy in public buildings, including how to respond to threatening calls.

Observational Psychology

Students will be educated on the identification of facial expressions and body gestures. A Protection Specialist must recognize the cues of facial expressions and body language as the precursors of assault or aggression. The primary emotions have behavioral cues to violence and assault that can often indicate impending violence.

Counter Surveillance

Coming out of this course, the student will understand the difference between High Profile Protection and Covert Protective Operations, various protective formations, static and mobile surveillance. Working as individuals and as teams, agents will learn the benefit of proactive vs. reactive approach to protection work.

Defensive Firearms

Students will be educated in practical firearms training applications with a focus on the use of these weapons in a protection situation. Training from concealed carry, the student will engage multiple targets, work cover/evacuate vs. stand and fight, team operations and procedures. Firearms training for protection agents is very different then that taught to law enforcement and civilians.

Advanced Defensive Tactics

This is not a martial arts system, but rather, a collective of several styles combined to be street effective and easily learned. Students will be trained to use techniques that graduate in intensity and are practical for use in Protection and are capable of stopping a threat immediately.

Legal Conduct for CPS Agents

A view into the legal rights of defense and protection as it relates to protection agents and their clients. Not completely understanding your parameters and how to operate during an assignment can be costly in terms of monetary losses and criminal negligence. Learn where you stand and how to interpret legal meaning and intent.

Career/Business Development for CPS

Our goal at APS is to assist the student in preparation of attaining employment or beginning their own business. Some of the best in the field have failed because they never understood how to achieve their objectives in business or to market themselves in the field.
