Specialized Entry Classes
Everyone from a first-year patrol officer to a seasoned SWAT operator or undercover detective as well as all Military Special Forces personnel can benefit from our Specialized Entry Class. Training is conducted by a 20+ year police veteran who is also certified as a locksmith, as well as a very qualified team of locksmiths with field experience in varying covert entry techniques. Each student will receive a free basic lock pick set upon successful completion of the class.
Types of locks include:
- Residential knobs and deadbolts

Training is accomplished in a two eight-hour day format. The class is approved for 16 hours of Arizona POST continuing education and training credit. (We will work with agencies in other states to pursue POST approval for the course.) Each day consists of both lecture and plenty of hands-on practice, with well over 200+ locks available.

Hosting a Class
Agencies may host a class at their own facilities. Host agencies will receive one (1) free slot in the class when the class reaches 12 paid positions. If the class reaches 20 paid positions, the host agency will receive two (2) free spots. Paid positions do not need to all come from the host agency, but all agencies attending combined.* We will work with you to provide a training flyer for distribution to potential students and surrounding agencies. Additionally, we will post the class to our web site as well as policetraining.net at no cost to you.
To schedule a class or for additional questions please contact us at info@jsetusa.com. If you are interested in hosting a “Closed Registration” class (a class specifically designated to your own personnel and not open to outside departments/agencies) we will be happy to work with you. We can even work with you to negotiate a set fee to train a fixed number of students.
