Strength. Endurance. Roots. Cedars hold the line in hard terrain and hard weather — the way disciplined training holds people steady under pressure.
Most organizations know they should be more prepared. Few know where to start, and fewer can tell the difference between real training and theater. Three Cedars exists to close that gap: honest assessments, practical plans, and training that holds up when it matters — delivered without drama, jargon, or fear-selling.
Three Cedars was founded on a career spent leading people through high-stakes decisions:
A retired police officer with decades of street-level and command experience — the realities of violence, de-escalation, and response, learned firsthand.
Served as a chief of police with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs — federal law enforcement command, responsible for policy, training standards, and the safety of officers, staff, and the veterans they protect.
A Lieutenant Colonel in the Alabama Army National Guard — planning, leading, and training at scale, where preparation is the difference between order and chaos.
Everything squared away. No clutter, no theatrics, nothing that doesn't earn its place.
Earned authority. We show competence; we don't shout it.
You get a straight answer about where you stand — even when it's not what you hoped to hear.
The three stars in our emblem honor service. Displayed with respect, never as a gimmick.
Three Cedars is a training and consulting firm. We don't provide guard services. We assess your security, build your plan, and train your people — so the capability belongs to you, not to a vendor. Based in Alabama, we train organizations nationwide.
