About TAFIS Training Academy
Protection Through Knowledge & Discipline
Texas Association For Internal Security
TAFIS is a state-licensed private security training academy and professional authority dedicated to advancing the standards of the security industry across Texas.
TAFIS was established to correct a critical failure within the traditional contract security model—low standards, high turnover, and minimal accountability.
We provide a structured alternative. A system built on training, discipline, compliance, and operational readiness.
"We do not produce guards. We develop security professionals."
Mission
To develop highly trained, legally compliant, and professionally disciplined security personnel capable of operating in real-world environments.
To equip businesses with the framework necessary to build and maintain high-performance in-house security departments.
To elevate the profession of private security through standards—not shortcuts.

Real-World Experience Matters

We do not teach theory. We teach what works in the field.
Not a Traditional Vocational School
TAFIS operates under a professional certification and licensing model, not a traditional academic structure. This allows us to train beyond minimum standards, maintain operational relevance, and deliver performance-based instruction.
