I had a fulfilling and unique experience obtaining my CCL training at CFT. I especially want to thank TC for squeezing me in the class due to time constraints at the time. Both she and instructor Don kept the class moving and instructional. I was never bored, overwhelmed or stressed. The pacing of class was good and Don’s easygoing personality kept the class relaxed. You can tell that both instructors truly like and believe in what they teach and don’t mind going the extra mile to make sure that everyone is understanding all the material no matter how many questions are asked. I truly believe you get out what you put in. So, if you participate and apply yourself, you as well, can have a successful experience at CFT. Thanks again guys and be well. More...

Unarmed security is ideal for locations seeking effective security coverage without the need for armed personnel.

Our Missing Heirs Services assist attorneys, executors, fiduciaries, and courts in locating and identifying missing, unknown, or unresponsive heirs in probate and estate matters.
