What We Stand For or We Keep Our Promises

Secure, Protect, Thrive.

Our mission is to ensure that all Vanquish companies benefit from the best operatives. We do this by first interviewing applicants to assess their communicative and interpersonal skills along with their willingness to attend a course. 

Once we have accepted an applicant, your opportunities are made clear to you. The Vanquish Group is constantly expanding with 3 offices overseas opening this year alone (please see press section and videos). 

As publicly stated; "This expansion is designed for several, obvious commercial reasons. However, one of the less obvious reasons is to maintain operative activity." 

 

"Retaining operatives by providing them with more work opportunities both in their home countries and abroad."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • This is a common misconception. Our course is designed for people from all backgrounds. Many of our successful candidates and now operatives have no police or military experience whatsoever.

     No

    Military Parade
  • Because we do not deploy into hostile environments, we do not include firearms training in our courses. Furthermore, if you intend on deploying to a hostile zone, you will need military experience from which you will already have the necessary weapon handling skills. 

    No

    Men with Guns
  • Whilst it is beneficial, it is not a pre-requisite that you have one.

    No

    Driving an Electric Car
  • Whilst we recognise that is would be fun, it is a waste of valuable training hours and it is unlikely that you will ever need to use impractical skills such as J-turns and handbrake turns as a CPO.
