American Security Force Expands Training Capabilities with Life-Saving Certification

American Security Force (ASF) is proud to announce a significant step forward in its commitment to professional development and operational excellence. ASF has been officially designated as a training site for First Aid, CPR, and AED instruction. The designation comes from the American Red Cross and further strengthens the capabilities of our security team.

ASF is thus empowered to deliver essential life-saving training directly to its officers, ensuring they are prepared not only to protect, but to respond effectively in critical, real-world emergencies.

All training sessions are led by Robert Kalowes, Training Director at American Security Force and a certified American Red Cross Instructor. With extensive experience in both security operations and instruction, Mr. Kalowes brings a high level of expertise and practical insight to every training session.

“This role is something new for our organization,” said Kalowes.
“For the first time, we have a dedicated focus on live training and advancement. As our officers continue to grow into leadership positions, and as we expand structured training like First Aid, CPR, and AED, we’re taking a significant step forward.
Our goal is to elevate the role of every officer and provide the tools they need to succeed and advance.”

The introduction of First Aid, CPR, and AED training is part of ASF’s broader initiative to continue advancing its training programs and elevating the standard of service across the organization. By integrating life-saving skills into its curriculum, ASF reinforces its commitment to safety, responsibility, and professionalism.

Two ASF venues are already set to benefit from this expanded training capability, providing officers with hands-on experience and practical application in realistic scenarios. The program emphasizes both technical skills and situational awareness—key components in effective emergency response.

This milestone reflects ASF’s ongoing investment in its people. By equipping officers with critical skills beyond traditional security training, the company continues to build a more capable, confident, and well-rounded team.
