On behalf of the St. Lawrence University Security Officer Academy, I am both proud and pleased to announce our 19th Annual Security Officer Academy, June 16-20, 2025.
We began our academy in June 2006 with plans to offer affordable, in-depth training for colleges and universities on topics relative to University Safety & Security departmental operations.

Areas of instruction include but are not limited to effective communication, NYS Security Guard Courses, Clery Act, Title IX, basic investigations, CPR/AED, defensive tactics, active shooter responses, bomb recognition, fire safety, dating/domestic violence, sexual assaults, stalking, cultural diversity and drug recognition.
The cost of the academy is $350.00 per attendee. Housing accommodations can be arranged on campus for $30.00 per night with linen included. Our dining hall will provide lunch at $10.00 per day; breakfast and dinner are on your own at area restaurants.
The deadline to register is May 19, 2025. We look forward to training your Safety & Security staff at our academy. I truly believe that it represents the finest security training in the area.
