Training security program successful

The success of a pilot project to provide training in security at the Horse Lake First Nation prompted All Peace Protection to offer a second training session at the Duncan First Nation. Of the 15 people who took the course in Horse Lake, all but one is now working full time. In Duncan, all 10 registrants were successful in passing the program. The 40-hour course typically costs $400 to $500 per person, but All Peace Protection provided the lessons free of charge. Graduates of the program are typically sent to industrial sites in and around the Peace Country. “We’re not the company that comes in and trains them and just leaves. It helps me out too, we’re just under 100 employees now at All Peace, we’re just continuing to grow,” Joseph Alaimoana, security manager for All Peace Protection, told the Grande Prairie Daily Herald Tribune.
