    I would like to know how to take online classes in security guard training as to become certified as well licensed in the state of Indiana for which I can open my own unarmed security company. I currently work for a security company (2years) and see the writing on the wall where the company will soon implode. I love what I do and have been asked by the current facility to take over their security needs as an independent contractor instead of using the company that’s is falling apart. However, in the state of Indiana i keep reading you need to be licensed and certified. I need help identifying how to accomplish this step. Thanks
