*DISCLOSURE* I am a competitor to STM…read more STM is one of the VERY few companies that I refer people to when I can't take on a particular client or don't have any openings for new employees. It's rare in this industry to find a company with respectable management, leaders, and employees. Even being a competitor, Larry has been a pleasure to work with and I know his company is top notch. If I were looking to hire security, STM would be my first stop.

Great Place to work!…read more Strategic Threat Management offers a great deal of experience in the security professional field and will train anyone willing to put in a meaningful days worth of effort into their work, and will reward you with plentiful training. If you are someone looking to become a professional security guard, STM has everything that you need, all you need to do is apply! As a current employee of STM, I see first hand the dedication STM puts into their employees to ensure that we are equipped, ready, and able to carry out our job duties and ensure the safety of the people and materials we are assigned to, wherever we are posted.

As for your satisfaction, I am attaching the receipts of courses I took from you or your associates. Multi-State CCW : Feb 23, 2020 Precision Rifle: May 14, 2022 Red Dot: May 21, 2022 CCW Renewal: Jan 21, 2023 Out of 4 classes I took, Red Dot and Precision Rifle were not even worth 1 star. And for both courses, I came with friend/s and all of them agreed to my statement. If you want I can ask them to leave a review too. As for your statement on refund, please feel free to do it. Venmo @desijedi or Zelle desijedi08@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Initial Review: Have taken 4 classes in last 5 years and quality has declined exponentially. What used to be awesome is now just a money making business with no emphasis on education or proper training. Will avoid going to Spartan/Fidel and I will suggest others to do the same. Don't be fooled by bunch of various course offerings, not worth the price at all.

May 1st, I was contacted by Juan Brooks of JCB International Training on Bark.com. He tried calling…read moreme from (310) 895-0066, then I called him back to let him know that I was trying to confirm the name of of the owner of a house for a restraining order. I told him I already went to the County Assessor's office, so I already have the name of the owners. My question was if he could confirm the name of the owner by cross-checking with the owner names as well the vehicle of this house owner since this person lives around the neighborhood. Mr. Brooks said gave me the flat fee of $250 to do what I asked. I paid him on May 2nd, and sent him an email at jcbitsc@yahoo.com with the address I was looking to confirm as well as the vehicle number. On May 9th, he emailed me a reply saying he confirmed the owners of the house -- Note: There was nothing else, save for his word. I replied asking if we can verify the ownership of the vehicle since the person living at the home (the person I see daily or majority of the time) is not confirmation that person is also the owner. Mr. Brooks said he'd get back to me. Meanwhile, the law film I was working with asks me during a conversation: Did you verify if this private investigator has a license? Me: No. May 16th, Juan Brooks emails me to say that he was out of town for business. May 20th, I email a reply saying I'm in the process of finding another private investigator since the law firm I was working with is trying to get my situation handled. I also noticed that Juan Brook's website (http://www.jcbitsc.com/) is no longer active. I went ahead looking for other private investigators on Yelp, verifying licenses, pricing, and I came across Verity Investigative Group who quoted $95 for everything I needed to do, and also confirmed that he would be able to do everything that day within the hour. He did. May 24th, I get an email from Juan Brooks that he'll have a full report the following week. I'm still waiting on that report. Meanwhile, I filed a dispute with my credit union...and plan on filing a complaint with the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services.

If you are brand new to the firearm world there is probably not a better place to start than this shop. If you are just looking to buy just go in there let them know or ask their opinions and in my experience they will help you get what you want if its within their ability to do so. If your looking for more they can easily direct you to staff who offer group and private lessons who can take a novice shooter and make you better in a couple hours and are very supportive throughout the process. I really hope that Manzano keeps going and can set the standard for all other shops to strive for.
