Don and TC are the best in Chicago user friendly and just brilliant and in the mark in making you have the safest experience, the ladies were very comfortable in what used to be a male environment. When you own a building that is a block long and the alarm goes off in the middle of the night and you need to clear a big dark building it is a must to not take a chance with your life. Wish it was not necessary but can’t walk in alone when there is no backup sometime More...

This class was very professional and taught me the things I really needed to know on all levels in case of an emergency etc. TC was also a very professional instructor and assisted me with very important information and documents. Very kind and realistic, which helped the process go smoother. If you really want to learn the correct things about being a gun owner and defending yourself this would be the best training to go to.Thank you all and God bless you as wellShack More...

I had an amazing time and experience with this company. I was sent by my job to get hands on training for baton and handcuffs training classes to get my certification. They will prepare you for whatever you need to get train for and will do it with professionalism, also while making it a fun exercise as well. TC, one of the trainers was great at communicating with us and he was very detailed on certain things he taught me in order for me to do my job better. If you need or want any type of security training weather it’s armed or unarmed this is the place to sign up for. More...

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...

State Security Training
State security training refers to the education and preparation provided to individuals involved in protecting state resources, facilities, and citizens from threats. To effectively protect information and systems from unauthorized access or breaches.

Private Investigations
We provide Private Investigative services to businesses and Private individuals.
Armed Security
Our Armed Security Services provide a heightened level of protection for people, property, and assets where credible risk is present. Armed security officers are carefully selected, fully licensed, and trained in threat assessment, de-escalation, defensive tactics, and lawful use of force.
We focus on prevention first—maintaining a visible, professional presence that deters criminal activity while ensuring rapid, disciplined response when necessary. All services are delivered in strict compliance with state and federal laws, with clear use-of-force policies and ongoing training standards.
Armed security is appropriate for environments requiring an elevated security posture, including high-value assets, sensitive locations, or areas with increased risk.
Unarmed Security
Our Unarmed Security Services provide a visible, professional security presence focused on prevention, observation, and incident management. Unarmed officers are trained in situational awareness, de-escalation, access control, and customer interaction, making them well-suited for environments where professionalism and communication are critical.
Officers work proactively to deter unwanted activity, enforce site policies, document incidents, and coordinate with management or law enforcement when necessary. All services are delivered in compliance with applicable laws, client directives, and established post orders.
Unarmed security is ideal for locations seeking effective security coverage without the need for armed personnel.
Missing Heirs
Our Missing Heirs Services assist attorneys, executors, fiduciaries, and courts in locating and identifying missing, unknown, or unresponsive heirs in probate and estate matters. Using lawful investigative methods, public records research, genealogical analysis, and field inquiries, we work to determine heirship and establish verifiable lines of succession.
Each case is handled with discretion, accuracy, and respect for legal and ethical standards. Findings are documented in clear, court-ready reports designed to support probate proceedings, estate administration, and due-diligence requirements.
