Your Input Could Earn a Starbucks Gift Card
Guardian Protection Force (GPF) is planning our 2026 calendar of trainings, webinars, and in-person events, and we want your input on what should come next.
If you have ever wished a security webinar went deeper, an in-person training covered the right scenarios, or an event was scheduled at a time that actually worked, this is your chance to influence what we build. Our goal is simple: host programs that are practical, relevant, and worth your time.
The 2026 Guardian Protection Force Event and Training Topic Survey is open Wednesday, December 17, 2025 through Friday, January 16, 2026 (end of day).
Why we are doing this survey
GPF has served Northern California and the greater Sacramento region for over 15 years, and we support clients wherever duty calls. Our work in executive protection, protective intelligence, consulting, and armed security is built on preparation and real-world experience.
Events and trainings are part of our identity and our brand. We do not create programming based on guesses, trends, or assumptions. We build it based on what people actually need:
What topics matter most right now
What formats are most valuable (webinar, in-person, panel, workshop, etc.)
How deep we should go (intro, intermediate, advanced)
When sessions should be scheduled to maximize attendance and usefulness
