Train. Protect. Preserve. Three words that mean a great deal to me because of the discipline and dedication that goes behind them. In a time where being concerned about your well-being is important, it should be second nature to always implement awareness. My name is Antwan Turner, a safety consultant, certified firearms instructor, and Deputy Director of CESA. Protecting those that can't protect themselves has always been a passion of mine. In turn, I really enjoy teaching others who have a strong desire to learn, how to equip themselves with the knowledge and confidence they'll need to handle themselves in stressful situations. At the end of the day, YOU are YOUR best line of defense. I hope to see you all in our continuous training endeavors. Be Safe. Be Aware. Be Ready!
