Concealed Handgun Permit (CCW) Information
Under C.R.S. 18-12-204 (1)(b), a concealed handgun permit is valid for five years from the date of issuance. If you move out of Colorado, you must submit a change of address form and surrender your permit to the local sheriff’s office, as it will become invalid once you are no longer a state resident. Failure to notify the sheriff’s office of an address change is a Class 1 petty offense.
While other programs focus solely on active shooters or stop the bleed training, our unique AVERT training goes beyond by combining both of these important topics in one training program. Having situational awareness and training during an active shooter situation will not only save lives but will help you to understand how to assist in a time of distress. Coupling this with bleed training you will have all the tools you need to assist those around you.
When active violence occurs, seconds count, and you can’t always wait for EMS to arrive. AVERT enables you and your team to become immediate responders. Rather than waiting for EMS to arrive on the scene get the training your team needs to treat fatal wounds and save your coworker’s lives. Our AVERT training courses will assist you in knowing what supplies your organization should have on hand and who should be trained.
Live scenario exercises and hands-on practice instills confidence in your team and gives them tools for how to respond. Training for an active shooter situation is a process and having the hands-on experience with a professional will allow you to be more confident in a real-life situation. With AVERT you’ll learn:
At Pikes Peak Security our licensed security guards are skilled in active violence emergency response situations, as well as extensive firearms, and security guard techniques.

Whether that is through our security guard services or through any of our training courses.

To clarify, you cannot simply get a generic guard card to work security in Colorado. Each municipality or county has its own licensing requirements. Some areas have no formal licensing program, while others — such as Colorado Springs, Denver, Pueblo, and certain government entities — do. In these locations, you cannot just apply for a license on your own; you must be sponsored by a licensed security company. While you can complete training independently, that training must ultimately be approved.
At Pikes Peak Security, we provide excellence-driven protection through a variety of services:
Providing top-of-the-line security means that we do not cut corners. That includes ensuring protection on all fronts, which is why Pikes Peak Security is fully licensed and insured.
At Pikes Peak Security, we believe that when it comes to protecting others, experience is essential. Our commitment to only hiring security guards with law enforcement and military experiences proves that. It takes a special individual to put themselves in harm's way for another, we happen to only hire and employ security guards who are willing to do just that.
Pikes Peak Security has a very stringent hiring requirement for all personnel. We do not hire just anyone at our company; anyone working for us must come from a military, law enforcement, or security background of at least 3 years. Because of the nature of some of the work we do, we are very strict on hiring
At Pikes Peak Security, we have high standards. Trained for excellence, our security guards are required to attain a variety of certifications through over 100 hours of training to ensure they can handle any threat to safety. Here’s what you can count on our guards for:
All of our guards are certified in firearms, we follow the curriculum of a few NRA courses, and we also incorporate several hours of training in dynamic scenarios that each guard could face in real life. Also, our guards are trained in less-than-lethal options such as Taser and OCAT for those circumstances that may be needed. Finally, although we hope to never have to utilize it, a handcuffing Technique called PATH is taught nationally. All PPS training standards are reviewed annually and assesed to make sure we are on top of our game at industry standards. At PPS, we believe in high-quality training, which makes for high-quality performance.
While security guard and security officer are oftentimes used interchangeably, they are not the same thing. The main difference between the two is that while a security guard is usually unarmed, a security officer carries a firearm while on duty. At Pikes Peak Security, we offer both security guard and security officers services depending on the needs of our clients.
At Pikes Peak Security, we utilize innovative technology to monitor and manage our security guards while they are on duty. The implementation of this technology allows us to ensure thorough protection of our clients and our security guards.
Our founders have a combined 18 years of experience in the military before starting Pikes Peak Security, which has been proudly protecting our community for over 8 years.

There are multiple processes of how to become a guard in Colorado. Unlike a lot of states, we do not have one state license. We have multiple license requirements per various locations we work in. For example, the city of Colorado Springs requires all guards to be sponsored by an employer and complete 8 hours of Basic Security Officer Training, 16 hours at a minimum of Firearms Training, 20 hours if you want to be able to conceal. These are the minimum training requirements for Colorado Springs. In order to get licensed in Denver you also must be sponsored and must complete the mandatory 16 hours of Basic Security Guard Training and the optional firearms training requirements if your agency requires you to be armed. There are many other locations in Colorado that have company and or individual guard requirements. It’s best to contact the security company you are interested in and ask what they require to become licensed with them.
At PPS we look at each person as a family member not a number. We are generally very flexible and understanding. We do understand that life happens and willing to adapt however, we ensure and meet the clients needs. We enjoy what we do and try to make this a family environment.
