Built to train the standard we set.
A Maryland-based firm with a law-enforcement-grade mindset.
Secrecy Executive is a state-certified firearms and security training academy — offering permit courses across seven states, professional certifications for security officers and protective agents, and life-saving skills like CPR and first aid.
Our courses are led by S. Williams — an active law-enforcement officer, multi-state licensed firearms instructor, and founder of the academy — alongside Derek Kinard, an active Maryland police officer and 2023 Anne Arundel County Police Academy graduate. Structured, disciplined, and grounded in real-world scenarios.

Every student is different. We adjust pace, coaching, and drills to make sure everyone leaves ready.
"We don't teach to a script. We teach so that when the moment comes, our students know exactly what to do — legally, safely, and confidently."
