Utah DOPL

Adaptive Ops has trained hundreds of security officers across the United States. Although the training licensing options are limited to the State of Utah, the training is designed to help private security officers, also labeled as “First Defenders” in our program, become professional practitioners that understand how to keep liability on the perpetrators and not themselves or their agencies.

Adaptive Ops alumni work in diverse and unique environments, the Utah private security licensing training functions as a baseline for establishing credentials. Once private security officer credentialing is acquired they become certified as a Level I First Defender in Adaptive Ops, First Defenders become candidates for advanced training opportunities.

Utah Private Security Licensing Training: (Available for to residents of other states)

Utah Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP)

Adaptive Ops provides the required training to legally conceal a firearm for the states of Utah, Arizona, and Maine.

Our concealed firearm training is designed to equip you with the knowledge to safely conceal and use a loaded firearm. The training will help you be a First Defender, not a victim.

Our class is welcoming to those who have never fired a gun but will provide advanced training for those who want to take their firearm skill sets to new levels.
