---

Glendale School of Security was founded in 2006 by Charles Barlow as a full-service training center dedicated to helping veterans transition from military to civilian life. Since then, we’ve proudly changed the lives of countless veterans and families by delivering high-quality vocational training at an affordable cost.

Charles is a former Drill Sergeant, retired Law Enforcement Officer, and current Adjunct Professor of Criminal Justice. With his leadership, you’ll receive training built on real-world experience that lasts a lifetime.

We never settle for second-rate instruction—neither should you. Whether you’re a large security company or an individual student, we provide training that sets you apart. Our instructors bring years of expertise to ensure your career success.

Our philosophy is simple: Train and Go to Work! Students need jobs now—not months later. That’s why we do not rely on government programs that may delay training or employment opportunities.

We care deeply about our students, and our mission is clear: to prepare you for the field and assist you in securing employment.

 Training Matters. Instructors Matter.
Our philosophy is simple: training is only valuable if it leads to employment. That’s why we go beyond the classroom to help every student secure opportunities across California—whether full-time, part-time, or on-call.

We provide personalized support with the state application process, résumé building, and mock interviews to ensure our students stand out. For transitioning veterans, we specialize in connecting them with roles that support a smooth reintegration into civilian life. Our commitment shows—we proudly maintain a 97% job placement success rate.

We also assist recent high school graduates and college students in landing their first positions, as well as seniors seeking meaningful employment.

Training is available throughout California, including Los Angeles County, Glendale, Burbank, and surrounding communities.
