All Access Security

I don’t know why this place actually has bad reviews, it is a good place… I got both a firearm permit and guard card here for 470 which is a good deal. I’m qualified for both a 9 mm and 40cal which is great judging by the fact they charged per caliber. The class takes about 1 day each. He has a firearm simulator next door. The class is thorough videos are long but they make a lot of sense. I recommend this place if you want to get your permits quick I literally did the class 1 day and got my guard card 4 days later. The firearm permit took 2 months which was fast because BSIS was really backed up. But this place is good I plan to get my baton and oc spray here.

This is a terrible company to go through for any licensing, they’re not professional the main assistant does not care about giving correct information nothing is done on time and you never talk to the owner. I’ve been waiting over two months to receive any information about my guard card after calling daily most importantly spent my money and there is no record of my payment when contacting bsis. I don’t recommend anyone especially if you have patience going thru all access security

I was there about a month and a half ago and I still haven’t got my guard card it doesn’t even appear in the California records and every time I call the lady at the front desk she give me attitude. This is one of the worst place you can ever go and try to get your guard card .
They are so terrible on doing their job that when they were doing my fingerprints they were submitting my fingerprints under some other guys name and I was gonna get his fingerprints what kind of thing is that.
And one of the craziest thing is that the last time I called the girl that works there told me The reason why I didn’t get my guard card was because I didn’t pass my back ground check when I have military experience and that turn out to be that she was lying and that really offended me. So my advice is that you try going to a different academy to get your guard card.

That one star is too much to give to this location. I went there on the summer to get my guard card and it took them a month to process my paper work. If they worked as fast as they take your cash, they would be worth spending your money there.
I had to literally hustle them to put my paper work in. After a month of begging, I talk to one of the girls in the front desk and she told me that the girl that took my information down hadn’t even summit it a damn thing. The owner, Craig, has the cutest chicks working there but they don’t work at all, they are more like decorations. And also Craig has a complete mess in his office and I can see how paper work can get lost in that disaster he calls «his office».
When a friend asks me where I got my guard card, I tell them «all access but don’t go there». If you got time to beg for something you paid for, then go ahead.

If you listen to him, you will make good money, he knows his business.
I’m not usually one to get all chummy with my instructors, but Craig Montgomery is someone that I can actually consider a friend. Mr. Montgomery, and his staff were upfront, honest, and truthful about the business of security… and what to expect.
They are a full service security training network; All modules needed by BSIS are offered, firearms training is also offered and they network with American Defense Enterprises programs in tactical classes. Pepper spray, and C. S classes are not only offered, they are explained in Leyman’s terms of usage, and the law. Baton course is a lecture, film, and hands on demonstration in the legal, and proper use of the Monadock PR-​24, and the ASP extendable tactical baton, which includes a comprehensive course in riot, and crowd control. Handcuff for California law is another worthwhile class.
Although they could stand a little housekeeping… trust me, he knows his stuff.
This company has a livescan on site, all needed paperwork, addresses and phone numbers to file with DOD and FBI. They also inform people that it is best to file the paperwork on your own, and give you a complete list of everything you need to include with your paperwork when doing your initial file, and all subsequent follow up files, make sure you take the responsibility… file your paperwork yourself, they almost hold your hand to the post office to get it all done.
Once you’re all certified, and ready to work… they go a step further, and offer job placement assistance, and local leads to follow up on for work. Not all the leads are the best paying, but when you have no experience… you have to start somewhere. Craig has personally overseen, and gotten former students work at sports functions, VIP, and celebrity security details.
Security, is like any other field, you get out of it, what you put into it. If you eat donuts all day long, smoke, don’t bother to stay in shape, hone your craft, continue your education, network, and just plain bust your ass… you will just be another rent-​a-​cop. However if you take this opportunity to hustle, and make the most of this you can end up doing security details for high end clientele, executive protection, dignitary protection, even TSA, and DHS postings… go get that money, and stay safe out there!

Horrible… absolutely horrible customer service. Registered for pepper spray certification course in early march and they couldnt figure out how to work their own website. I tried contacting them multiple times and was just being ignored. Finally I just kept calling their office until they picked up and they gave me a number of their web administrator… I called that number just to be sent to voicemail over and over and never getting a response. Finally in May I just gave up and asked for a refund. This time when i called the owner of the company answered the phone and refused to give me a refund until I tried logging into their website one more time. So i tired and it actually worked. I finished the course that day within an hour and called them to make sure they are sending my certificate. The guy then said he will send it out the next day. …Well about a week goes by and I call them to see if they sent it. The lady working the front desk said its sitting on their desk and it just needs to be mailed. So almost june now and I finally have it.
but yea… HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. WILL NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!!!

Craig Montgomery is a THIEF. He and his group of crooks take money from people who want to get a guard card and then doesn’t help them get their cards. I was one of those unfortunate people. I gave my hubby $ 176 out of my social security check so he could get a guard card and get work. He went to All Access Security and did what he was supposed to, yet they never filed any of his paperwork. That was 4 weeks ago. When we asked for our money back, we got cussed out and threatened. Please DO NOT patronize this company and help them keep taking money from destitute people. They have an F rating with the BBB and over 20 complaints with no resolutions. Please heed my warning and pass it on! And contrary to popular belief it is still open and doing BAD business.
