Here at Able Shepherd, we stand behind our motto “Take Care of One Another.”
We believe that together, we are stronger, and offer custom training programs specifically designed for your security team.
Corporate Security
Corporate Security
We work with a variety of corporate clients in the following areas:
Unarmed DEFEND Training sessions for staff
These trainings are an unarmed introduction to our DEFEND training modules. These modules are made up of Defense, Evacuate, Fortify, Emergency Medical Aid, Notify others, and Dial 911. Once we develop this foundational understanding we can work further on improving the safety of your team.
Internal Security Team Training
When you are ready to responsibly consider an armed option to defending those in your care, we can help. This is a serious decision, and it must be done considering liabilities, industry standards, and realistic capabilities.
Employee Termination Consultations
Sometimes individuals are no longer in alignment with your corporate vision. If there is a concern for the safety of others, certain precautions should be taken. Let us partner with you before, during and after the termination meeting so that we can assist you.
Executive Protection Services
Please contact us for pricing as all Executive Protection Services are customized per client objectives and requests.
School Security
School Security
Unfortunately, our children are being targeted in schools. Like it or not, the models currently in place are inadequate to effectively protect them. We have presented a solution to provide proven physical stops within schools. This is not another theory, this is what we have done, and what we will continue to do. Please contact us on making your school safer today.

These trainings are an unarmed introduction to our DEFEND training modules. These modules are made up of Defense, Evacuate, Fortify, Emergency Medical Aid, Notify others, and Dial 911. Once we develop this foundational understanding we can work further on improving the safety of your team.
Armed Protection Services
Simply put, we searched hard for a company that we would recommend to provide armed response to our children’s school and we could not find one… so we started one. WE ONLY OFFER THIS SERVICE FOR SCHOOLS. Please contact us for pricing as all AP Services are customized per client objectives and requests.

Able Nation introduces a new Tuition Credit Sponsorship specifically for North Denver Metro area Students
Able Nation has created a new Tuition Credit Sponsorship for specific Able Shepherd students who reside in the North Denver Metro area.
Why?
There is a desire to further expand to the North Denver Metro area the many potential positive community impacts of the Able Shepherd program. However, it is recognized that residents of North Denver incur significant logistical costs (time and money) in order to attend AS classes and events at the current locations. This new Tuition Credit Program was created to help specific current and potential future AS students better justify those logistical costs.
This Tuition Credit Sponsorship consists of awarding up to $1,000 in tuition credits in two parts:
- A $500 credit will be awarded for Phase 3 Able Shepherd classes for those eligible students who meet the specific criteria outlined;
- An additional $500 credit will be awarded subsequent AS classes for those students who have then become a Certified Able Shepherd and remain current status in the program.
What is the specific criteria for AS students to become eligible for these tuition credits?
- For the initial $500 tuition credit, the AS student must provide documentation to Able Nation that:
- You are a member of the Safety/Security Team at your church
(A confirming note from the Safety/Security Director or a Pastor at your church will suffice). - You either live and/or your church is located in the Denver Metro area North of Highway 6
(The address of your current residence and/or that of your church will suffice) - You have already completed Phase 2 courses and have passed the Phase 2 / Protector Test
(A copy of your Protector Certificate or the date that you passed the Phase 2 / Protector Test will suffice)
- For the additional $500 tuition credit, the AS student must provide documentation that they have become a Certified Able Shepherd.
If you are interested in applying for this Tuition Credit Program, please submit copies of the required above listed documentation to the following emails: TO: neil.pinkham@ableshepherd.com CC: melissa.papulias@ableshepherd.com
This Tuition Credit sponsorship is, in part, made possible from various anonymous donors to the Able Nation 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
