By fostering a community mindset, we reduce isolation and strengthen collective responsibility—because when people look out for one another, crime and violence diminish. Our approach bridges empowerment with prevention, equipping everyday people to feel secure, stay prepared, and contribute to safer communities for all.

As technology use increases and people continue to be more isolated, the further we are away from 'Community'.
Armored Village provides Community Mindset training to bring everyone back to a 'Protect my Brother' way of being so we can prevent incidents before they happen. There are many ways we customize these programs for schools and organizations so they can mitigate risk of violence in their locations.

TESTIMONIALS
While serving in the military (75th Ranger Regiment) and as a Federal Law Enforcement officer (Federal Air Marshal) I have been fortunate to train with some of the best instructors/trainers in the world. Jody rates right up there with the best. Not only was taking her course worth my money it was more importantly worth my time. If you can get in to one of her classes count yourself fortunate because no matter your experience level you will be better for it. - John T.
I have learned more from Jody Maki and GirlOnFre than in my entire Law Enforcement career and years using firearms. I cannot overstate enough the value of the knowledge I have received from this instructor. Outstanding.
- Robert Hanley
Thank you so much. Having the opportunity to attend the Handgun qualification course / Utah concealed carry class was very informative and I truly appreciated the way that you presented all of your material. Truly, I don’t think I would feel half so confident or prepared for what is to come if I had not taken the courses I have with you. Your academic expectations on safely using a handgun and your clarity in explaining your requirements were both welcome and inspiring. Thank you for helping me reach a different, and higher, level of knowledge than I have been able to attain thus far! I wish you much success in the upcoming year. I know that anyone taking your course will have an incredibly rich and satisfying educational experience with you to guide them. Sincerely and with much gratitude,”
- E. Davis
Train the Trainer, after 38 years of Law Enforcement training, having been a certified trainer myself at the U.S. Army Military Police Academy "DBMP" Attending courses at The Federal Law Enforcement Training, FLETC, Jody's class stands out on top of all the training I've received in my career and I've been to many.
