We've been working with Mike P. for security for our upcoming wedding. We had a miscommunication with our venue and Mike has been overly accommodating. He has been amazing to work with and has made this to-do item a breeze. Thanks Mike!

Professional, courteous staff. Their timeliness and mindfulness to sensitive information is outstanding.
Professional and reliable. We had a situation with another tenant in our office building which needed the attention of someone like JomsVikings. We've never had to hire a company like this so I had no idea what to expect. Josh answered all my questions. He followed up with text messages, phone calls and emails. He explained the process in great detail from what we should do, to what we should expect and every aspect that I had no idea about. We worked with Alex and Mike who were both professional and hard working. All of our employees felt much better with them around. If, for whatever reason you find yourself in a position where you need protection and security, call JomsVikings. They are worth every penny spent.
Excellent well trained staff. Premier service and support every time.
The entire team was great to work with. They were professional, responsive, reliable, flexible and engaged each and every time. Their staff is top notch and well trained. I honestly can't say enough about this team and working with them. They went above and beyond my expectations.
Professional and extremely competent in the work provided.
I cannot say enough about how personable, professional, respectful, humane and effective this team is! I worked with them on a complex, outdoor event and they interacted with very diverse people in a direct, pleasant and assertive manner. They followed our directions and also, took a leadership role when they had a better strategy based on their professional experience. I will definitely hire them again and I encourage anyone seeking a responsive, culturally responsive, intelligent and most importantly effective security team to work with this team!
We were very pleased with the peace of mind JomsVikings gave us in our time of need. Very professional. Highly recommend them!
When you are in a potentially dangerous situation you need to be sure that you are in good hands. I literally trusted my life with these guys and they were great.
Don’t settle for less than JomsVikings. A company with professionals with relevant experience makes all the difference if real security measures are needed. Your assets, your employees and/or your tenants deserve quality security. You will find that with JomsVikings.
I operate a business in St Paul, MN that was burglarized over Thanksgiving weekend. While we waited on the alarm company to procure the sensors for the system, I hired JomsVikings to patrol / sit on the property. The communication from the principle was professional and proactive. Plus having direct communication with the actual security detail was excellent. JomsViking gave us a piece of mind during some heightened uncertainty. If I ever have another need they’ll be my first call.

Who is this 1-Day Executive Protection course for?
This course is specifically designed for individuals seeking a foundational understanding of the executive protection industry. It's ideal for current security professionals looking to upskill, law enforcement or military personnel transitioning to the private sector, and career changers who are serious about entering the world of close protection.

Do I need any prior experience or equipment?
No prior executive protection experience is required to attend. The course is designed to be an introduction. You should arrive with an open mind and a willingness to learn. We recommend professional but comfortable attire suitable for light movement, and materials to take extensive notes.
Will I receive a certification upon completion?
Yes, all attendees who successfully complete the full day of training will receive a Certificate of Completion from JomsVikings Protection & Security. This certificate verifies your participation and grasp of the foundational concepts covered.
Is this one-day course enough to get a job as an EP agent?
This course is an intensive introduction designed to provide foundational knowledge and help you determine if a career in EP is the right fit. While it's a valuable first step that strengthens your resume, most professional EP roles require more comprehensive, multi-day training that includes advanced skills like defensive tactics, firearms, and live scenario drills.
