# The Ops Con

> A global community of military veterans and Blue Light Service members helping each other succeed — combining accredited close protection and security training, a security jobs board, a vetted operator network, and a member community. Built by the community, for the community.

The Ops Con (theopscon.com) connects veterans and Blue Light Service members (police, fire and ambulance) with security-industry training, careers and a partner network. It runs accredited training courses (CPD Approved Provider, SFJ Approved Centre, Insignia Awards Training Provider; Armed Forces Covenant signatory), lists security and close protection jobs, maintains the Sentinel vetted-operator directory, and supports members through The Academy, a store, and community fundraising.
