About Security Compliance Academy

Hi, I'm Catherine Flowers, and I understand firsthand the challenges of working in the security industry.

With over 30 years of combined experience in law enforcement, military leadership, and security training, I've witnessed the critical need for professional, compliant training that prepares guards for real-world situations.

As a retired Raleigh Police Officer and former Commissioned Officer in the Military Police Corps, I've dedicated my career to protecting people and property—a mission I now continue by training the next generation of security professionals. My military leadership experience instilled in me the discipline, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence that I bring to every training session.

I founded Security Compliance Academy after recognizing that many small to mid-sized security companies struggle to provide timely, quality training that meets North Carolina's strict 30-day compliance requirements. My approach emphasizes not just compliance but the core values of discipline, professionalism, and leadership that are essential for security personnel.

My commitment to the security profession extends beyond training. I remain actively involved in the security community, staying current with evolving industry standards and regulatory changes. This commitment to ongoing professional development ensures my training programs not only meet current state requirements but also prepare security professionals for the real challenges they'll face in the field.

What sets our training apart is the blend of tactical knowledge and leadership principles I bring to the classroom. My lessons incorporate real scenarios and practical skills gained from decades of frontline experience, while emphasizing the discipline and professional conduct that clients expect from security personnel.

Whether you're a security company owner looking to train your team or an individual starting your career in security, I'm committed to providing accessible, professional training that sets you up for success. My courses blend essential compliance elements with actionable skills and leadership principles that security guards need to perform effectively and confidently.

Your security career matters to me. I believe in your potential to excel in this growing industry and am passionate about equipping you with the knowledge and skills you need to protect the people and assets in your care. Let's work together to ensure you have the training you need to succeed while exceeding North Carolina's professional standards.
