The Loss Prevention Group

$ 20 rolling fee! You cant beat that. Every livescan I need done I get it done here! One block away from bart and there is a deli right across the street. Also had my CPR done here with no hassle.

Great customer service!

Marcus is funny great instructor down to earth makes time fly by fast I had a good experience no complaints. When I need to take continuation classes or re new my guard card I will be returning here :)

Hands down the best and fastest fingerprinting service I’ve ever experienced. I’m writing this on my phone because I was so impressed with their service that I had to write a review right away!
For years I’ve had to get fingerprinted for work and I’ve never been in and out of a place so quickly; entered 3:25 and exited at 3:34. BAM! Done and done.
Might go back and check out their CPR classes just because they were so efficient.

This place is great! With the Unilocal deal, the livescan only costs $ 15. The staff is friendly, efficient and informative. There was only one person in front of me so I was there for about 15 minutes. Would definitely recommend this place.

I went to them for live fingerprint scan, and their rolling fee is 20 $.
There are no line, and I got started right away.
Their service is excellent, and we finished in less than 15 minutes.
I will visit them again if I need live fingerprint scan again.

I have come here for fingerprinting twice and they are beyond professional and efficient. You can even print your forms here. They are conveniently located off of the bart. Basically, i could give my money to anyone, but I come back to places that are timely, friendly and have great customer service. Soooo, I’m simply saying, if you goin spend that money, spend it here. They’ll take care of you!

Excellent experience from Start to Finish.
I called 2 days in advanced to sign up for a Thursday guard card 8 hr training class, state application and live-​scan all for $ 210 Like mentioned they are 1 block away from the 19^th/​Broadway exit from BART.
You get inside the building and sign in at front lobby desk per the building security and then get on the elevator and head up to the 6^th floor. You wait in the open classroom and you’re gonna hear a semi quiet intercom asking «the next new client needs to come in the office directly across the hall and grab some paper work to fill out». You enter the office and the fingerprint tech excepts your payment, makes a copy of your DL and does both hands/​fingers on the live-​scan fingerprint station in under 2 minutes. He hands you a packet for you to fill out and once you hand it back in and he gives the OK, you head up to the 8^th floor for the actual class.
At 9am the Instructor Jeff Russo came in and he «broke the ice» right away and put the whole class at instant ease. He gave us a brief history of himself and his past and current work history. He did an amazing job showing us the «do’s and dont’s» of being future security guards. The first half of the class before our break at 11:45a went very quickly. He does a powerpoint presentation virtually the whole time and had a couple of funny clips from movies and real life more serious scenarios that were put on youtube. The only hard part to stay focused is the repeated presentation when the narrator on the screen was talking about WMD’s ugghh (you’ll see what im talking about) lol.
After all is done he gives you a certificate of completion and you just have to anticipate that everything on your packet of info goes through smoothly with BSIS and you actually get your «Guard Card» in 15 – 20 business days. You card is good for 2 years.

I had a GREAT experience with LPG, the whole staff were great, professional and will get my service for years to come, thanks Eric, Marcus, Sandra and John. G.F.

Marcus was extremely professional, efficient and the class overall showed me what I needed to know. If you are wanting a self paced class, this is for you. (I took the blended portion.) You can spend the first portion of the class, learning the material at your leisure. After you are finished with the lessons, you have to print out a certificate of completion and bring it down to LPG.
You can call in, set up an appointment, (usually after 3pm, since they also have the in person classes. Also, the usual days for appoints are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, depending on instructor availability. I was fortunate enough to be able to do it same day, for the completion of my credential requirements.) and work individually with an instructor on learning and insuring that your technique is correct on the three dummies (Adult, Child and Infant)
Marcus took me through all the questions that I had on AED usage for infants, which I was not 100 percent sure about. After checking your technique and answering your questions, you get a certificate and your printed card on the same day.
The pricing was something that I want to highlight, because it was the most competitively priced as well. At the time of completion, the online blended class was 50 dollars, with the in person class (roughly 3 total hours) being 40 dollars. You can sign up for the class online as well as pay for the class. Having done a lot of research on the subject, the average price for the class is usually between 70 – 80 dollars, plus the price of the book. This is not to speak on the quality of instruction, since I didn’t take the other classes, but outside a free option at a sporting goods store (The Sports Basement, which rocks that they offer free classes, but the fill up quickly and are offered sporadically for my schedule) this was the best price point and most convenient.

Went to Pepper Spray and Handcuffing today. The staff is friendly and makes the
learning fun. All my questions were answered which really helped me. I took many
classes here and the Staff always took good care of me. You will have a great]
time!

The LPG instructers are awsome. They really making learning easier to comprehend. Im still attending classes. I recomend this LPG here in Oakland ca, excellent service. The Best ! Thank You Marcus Bronfeld

. Fat front office guy needs to learn to be polite and not RUDE

I really like this place, and will coutiune to do my requalifications here. the staff are very friendly and are mostly either LE or have worked in the field before. because I have a high reguard for them and have the ultimate goal of joining the brotherhood I really enjoyed learning everything from the instructors. my favorite instructor was Mr. Stretch his style of teaching for me was the best! if your looking to add more skills, and or tools on your duty belt this is the place to go. tell them Bill from alameda sent you, as marcus would say «The classes will be thoroughly entertaining» one word somes up this company, and it’s instructors OUTSTANDING!

Just took the basic security gaurd course today and was very impressed with these guys. Despite the class being packed, they got everyone’s fingerprints and paperwork processed quicly. They were very helpfull on job leads as well. They were professional without being anal. Also, as others noted the location is super easy to get to from BART. If i get more training, I’ll be getting it here for sure.

Got a package deal of $ 370 to go through the guard course and the firearms course. Add in the $ 80 processing fee for firearms processing at the BSIS, we have a total of $ 450. Not bad, considering the quality instruction provided by Master Instructor, Marcus!
He has a great depth and breadth of experiences in law enforcement, as a police officer and as an armed security guard. He’s got an easygoing demeanor with a humorous streak.
The restroom is ok but the dim lighting and cramped space leaves more to be desired. Marcus creates a very safe, professional atmosphere for students of all backgrounds and ages.

Marcus was very helpful &. Friendly and nice…

Re-​post from other listing.
Digital fingerprinting has eliminated many ol’ school fingerprinting services. I was surprised at how many places did not offer ol’ fashioned fingerprinting anymore, at least in the Peninsula and East Bay.
I ended up at The Loss Prevention Group. A clean and tidy office. An ex-​officer named Marc B. finger printed me. He was funny and had good stories from his days in with SFPD. The whole process took less than 15 minutes. He guaranteed the work if any complications arose (never know what can happen with ink these days).
Final Call:
Quick and pleasant experience so this is the place to handle such bio-​ID affairs. Let’s hope you and I don’t need to get fingerprinted that often!

CPR certification in less than 3 hours and for $ 50 (as opposed to $ 60+ for 6 hours on a Saturday)? Yes, please. I know there are some sports stores that do it for free, but I needed Infant, Child, & Adult CPR certification, so that option was out. My instructor was William and he was really chill and knew we wanted to get out of there early, with it being a Thursday night class from 6 – 9. Glad to have this off my checklist!

Great place for all your digital fingerprinting needs. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Clean, modern office. Close to BART. Next door to MediCann. Reasonable fees. I was there at 330pm on Thurs and there was no wait. I was in and out in 20 mins. They dont accept AE, but most other major credit cards.
They do other things there, I didnt use those services, but check out their website for more info.
