History
IDS was created in response to the continuing need for quality and excellence in personal defense instruction. Several courses that are offered place particular emphasis on avoidance of these types of situations. Even though there are numerous avenues for the local general public to pursue competing firearm / crime prevention educational alternatives, IDS has enjoyed rapid and consistent growth. Classes are limited in size to guarantee individual competency and proficiency. Our clientele continues to grow simply by the recommendations of former students. IDS ensures that all existing/future staff members/adjuncts are experienced marksmen/instructors & insists that they maintain current certification with either NRA, NRA LED, Utah BCI, Combat Focus Shooting Active Status (CFS), or Defensive Firearm Coach. More importantly all adjuncts and staff must continually train as students themselves. Personal defense and safety is a lifestyle and mindset.
