About the Academy
Training officers the way
the industry should have
all along.
Sentinel Academy was founded by 20-year security operations veteran Marcus Hale to fix what's broken in officer training: rubber-stamp certifications, unmonitored exams, and credentials nobody trusts.
Every course is delivered under continuous instructor review. Every exam is proctored. Every certificate is anchored to a verifiable ID — so employers know what they're hiring.

Screen Recording
Exam sessions are screen-recorded for full audit trail.
Locked Exam Mode
Tab switching, copy/paste, and window focus loss end the exam immediately.
