Security guard training has established itself as a strategic element in strengthening private security, especially in contexts of increasing social and technological complexity. This article comparatively analyzes the training models adopted in Brazil, the United States, and the European Union, highlighting the importance of pedagogical innovation and international standardization for reducing risks at airports, ports, major events, and critical infrastructure. The research discusses how more modern teaching methodologies, combined with global certification standards, can increase the effectiveness of private security and strengthen its integration with public security systems. By highlighting Brazilian lessons applicable to the North American context, the study emphasizes the role of international harmonization as a path toward a more efficient, ethical, and sustainable sector.
