Company Overview
Metropolitan Security Services was established in 1990 with a mission to provide the highest quality security services nationwide. The company was founded by Michael and Amy Walden and, shortly after its inception, it evolved into Walden Security. In the last thirty years, Walden Security has grown organically – one customer at a time, rather than through mergers and acquisitions – and remains a top-ranked security firm in the country.
Walden Security's established record, and the success of our officers, is the driving force behind Metropolitan Security Services Online Training. With this new offering, we are proud to bring our proven, award-winning training programs to you in a convenient virtual format.
Our Experience
The Metropolitan Security Services team brings over 100 years of combined security-related experience spanning private, public, and nationally recognized programs and organizations within the Federal, International Law Enforcement, US military and local and national police departments. Our scope and understanding of what it takes to build an elite training program are unmatched.
OUR AWARDS
Since 2017, Walden Security has been named a Training APEX company by Training magazine. In 2022, Walden Security was the top-ranked security firm over other nationwide security service providers. The award places a heavy emphasis on excellence in employee-sponsored training and development programs. The recipients are organizations with the world's most successful learning and development programs. As an organization with an award-winning training program and dedication to top performance, we have the same commitment to excellence with our online training platforms.
