From the Field to the Classroom — Built on Real Experience

Founded in 2016 by veteran law enforcement professional John Foody, FB Security Consulting was created to deliver training that makes a real difference when it matters most.
After decades of responding to emergencies, managing crisis situations, and teaching at police academies, our founders recognized a need for practical, realistic training that empowers everyday people — not just first responders.

Every program we offer is grounded in that same real-world experience and shaped around each client’s unique environment. Whether training school staff, hospital teams, or corporate employees, our approach ensures every participant walks away more prepared, more confident, and more capable.

OUR MISSION

Always Striving for More

At FB Security Consulting, our mission is to provide customized, hands-on training that builds confidence, strengthens preparedness, and prevents violence through education and awareness. We believe that true safety begins long before a crisis occurs — with proactive preparation, informed decision-making, and practiced response.

Every organization, location, and team faces unique challenges. That’s why we move beyond generic, cookie-cutter programs. Instead, we take the time to understand your specific environment, identify potential vulnerabilities, and design realistic, scenario-driven training that mirrors the threats your people could actually face.

Our courses go beyond lectures and slides — they place participants in authentic situations that demand communication, teamwork, and composure under pressure. This experiential approach ensures that when real danger arises, your staff doesn’t freeze or panic — they respond instinctively, confidently, and effectively.

Our goal is simple: to make sure your personnel know how to respond, not just what to do — because preparedness is more than knowledge; it’s skill, awareness, and readiness in action.

OUR APPROACH

What Makes Our Training Different

Custom-Crafted for Every Client

No two environments are the same — and neither are our programs. We tailor every session to your location, staff, and challenges.

Reality-Based Learning

We replace generic PowerPoints with real-world simulations, hands-on drills, and situational awareness exercises that build muscle memory and confidence.

Experienced Instructors

Our instructors bring over 15 years of experience each in law enforcement, SWAT, and tactical instruction. They’ve been where it matters — and they teach from that experience.

Engaging, Practical, Effective

We don’t believe in “check-the-box” training. Every participant leaves with usable, life-saving skills that can be applied immediately.

Led by Experience

Every FBSCC course is taught by a lead instructor with decades of field, instructional, and tactical experience. Our team is committed to delivering the highest quality training — customized to fit your organization’s specific needs.
