Meet Your Instructor, Tony Allen
24 Years of Proven Experience
When you train with Stay Ready Training Academy, you are learning directly from an instructor who has lived the realities of high-stakes security and law enforcement for over two decades.
Our founder's background includes:
-
Proud Navy Veteran
-
Former Police Officer with over 13 years of street experience
-
Experienced Federal Security Officer
This extensive law enforcement and military background paved the way for our academy. Having paid for security-related services in the past and realizing that his unique background could raise the bar for local training standards, our founder took the courage to build Stay Ready Training Academy. We bring that exact same spirit of determination to our students, showing you that if someone else can achieve success in this field, you can too.
The Stay Ready Philosophy
Sincerity in the Classroom
We bring a genuine, sincere nature to the classroom. We intentionally teach in a way that makes our students feel comfortable and at home. However, we never mask the inherent dangers of the security profession. We emphasize these realities clearly so that our security officers never become complacent on duty.
Quiet Confidence Over Tough-Guy Stereotypes
We completely steer clear of the typical, aggressive "tough guy" security stereotype. Our academy focuses on building quiet confidence, psychological safety, and true peace of mind. We teach our students to rely on logic and reason rather than getting wrapped up in their emotions.
Words as Your Primary Tool
An ego-trip has no place in a professional security environment. When a person is acting out, they are almost always thinking emotionally. Your job as a professional is to engage them in a calming, confident way. Our core training philosophy ensures that at the end of the day, the most powerful tool you use to win an interaction is your words — completely avoiding unnecessary physical confrontation.
Lifelong Encouragement and Mentorship
We sincerely want our students to win at everything they do. Because of this commitment, our relationship with you does not end on graduation day. We offer continuous, encouraging guidance based on real personal and professional experience to help you grow in your career and your personal life.
We also maintain an open-door policy for all present and former students. You are encouraged to reach out to us at any time with questions, concerns, or scenarios you face in the field. Stay Ready Training Academy is your lifelong partner in professional excellence.
