Doug Collier and his wife Traci have opened Apex Tactical Solutions to offer instruction for home defense, introduction to firearms and firearm safety and assailant awareness in Chapin.

Collier recently retired after 23 years as an FBI special agent. He became well-versed in training law enforcement officers for firearm use, tactics and active shooter response.

“I’ve been gifted to teach, so I feel like the Lord has put me in the position where I’m able to take the things I’ve learned and done over 23 years, and give back to others,” he said.

Collier’s assailant awareness training is geared toward groups in spaces like a church, school, or business.

Apex is located at 331 Limestone Road, Chapin.
