Firearms and Tactical Instructor

United Defense Tactical
Glendale, AZ

Company Overview

United Defense Tactical is redefining how civilians train for personal defense!

We are not a traditional range and not a one-weekend class. We are a professional, scenario-based training environment focused on decision-making, accountability, and real-world performance under stress.

Our instructors come from military and law enforcement backgrounds and share a commitment to safety, professionalism, and mentorship. We exist to empower responsible citizens to build confidence, judgment, and readiness through consistent training.

For those who have worn the uniform and still feel called to serve, this is an opportunity to continue making an impact—this time by developing capable, disciplined members of your own community.

We are seeking professionals who lead with integrity, humility, and competence—and who believe training should elevate people, not intimidate them
