Lilburn grew up around the railroad that still runs through Old Town, and its future security officers train a few cities north at the Academy in Duluth. Choose Unarmed, Armed or the Complete Package and lock in a date with a $100 deposit.

Lilburn has two centers: Old Town by the tracks and City Park, and the business district that moved out to Lawrenceville Highway, U.S. 29, once cars replaced the train. Wherever you live in Lilburn, the classroom is the same: 3250 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Ste 201, Duluth.
The city posts traffic advisories when large gatherings happen, such as the annual Diwali celebration at the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, so some days are not typical. Open the live directions link from your home at the time you would leave, and if your class date falls on a big local event weekend, check again that morning.
Lilburn residents near Mountain Park, along Killian Hill Road or close to the Mandir each begin on different local roads before reaching a main route north. Save the directions link and test it once on a weekday at class time, which tells you more about your real trip than any average could.
City Hall and the library building in Old Town are not training sites. All classroom sessions are in Duluth, and Armed range details are posted on each Bookeo date.
Lilburn City Park is the city's main stage: 10 acres at Main Street and Railroad Avenue with a bandshell, splash pad, playground, pavilions and access to the Camp Creek Greenway, a trail of roughly four miles. Most city events are held there, including Food Truck Tuesday in the Park on second Tuesdays with live entertainment. The city also runs a Spring Cornhole League and keeps a public art list of murals and sculptures across Old Town. Busy parks and vendor rows need officers who can watch a crowd, find a lost child and write a clear report afterward.
The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, inaugurated in 2007, is open to visitors and hosts large celebrations. When a religious or cultural site draws heavy attendance, respectful crowd guidance and parking direction matter as much as anything else. Good security work at places like this depends on courtesy, patience and communication, which the course treats as core skills rather than extras.
Lilburn is also mid-redevelopment, with a realigned Main Street and a City Hall and library completed in 2016 meant to spark new building. Construction sites and new mixed-use buildings typically need overnight checks and access logs.
Food Trucks on Main runs every Tuesday at Main Street and First Avenue from noon to 9 p.m., except second Tuesdays, when it moves into City Park with live music. Weekly street events teach the routine side of the job: steady presence, spotting problems early and handing off notes cleanly.
The post types below are drawn from Lilburn's settings. They are examples only, not job offers, and completing a course does not guarantee a job. Private Eye Protection hires through its own application.
Festivals with hundreds of vendors in a city park may need booth-area patrol, entry posts and first aid readiness. See event security.
Major celebrations at cultural and religious sites can call for respectful parking and crowd guidance.
New downtown buildings under construction can rely on overnight rounds, gate control and equipment checks.
Shopping centers along Lawrenceville Highway may use officers for visibility, opening and closing checks and reports.
Residential communities may use access control, patrols and visitor logs. See apartment security.
Armed positions may need a Georgia license, which requires age 21 and a licensed employer. See armed officers.
Unarmed builds the base. Armed adds firearms and live-fire qualification.
Georgia Board rules set a 24-hour minimum for basic training.

No. Old Town has City Hall, the library and City Park, but no Academy classroom. All classroom sessions meet at 3250 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Ste 201, in Duluth. Choose a date in Bookeo, pay the $100 deposit and check range details if you take Armed or Complete.
They can. The city issues traffic advisories for large gatherings such as the Mandir's Diwali celebration. Open the live Google Maps link from your address on the morning of class, and leave extra margin on event weekends. The city posts these advisories on its website, so a quick look there the day before class helps.
Lilburn hosts weekly food truck nights, seasonal leagues and major cultural celebrations. Those need crowd awareness, first aid, respectful communication and clear reports, all taught in the Unarmed course. Training does not guarantee a role at any of these events. Old Town's weekly street events give a feel for that work.
Check the session hours on each Bookeo date before you reserve and compare them with your shift and the drive to Duluth. If none line up, call 678-878-3152 on a weekday and staff can walk through future dates. Arriving rested matters, since the Unarmed course alone runs 24 hours.
Unarmed is $250, Armed is $375 and the Complete Package is $550. Every course, whichever you choose, is reserved with a $100 non-refundable deposit through secure Bookeo and Square checkout. The balance, $150, $275 or $450, is due when you attend the training.
Start with the 24-hour Unarmed course. It covers patrol and observation, emergency response, legal authority and use of force, access control and report writing, and includes American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED. If you are at least 21 and plan to work armed, the Complete Package bundles both courses and saves $75.
No. Armed training requires you to be at least 21, the same minimum Georgia sets for armed security licensees. Armed registration is handled through a licensed security employer, so the course alone does not authorize armed work. Read the requirements on each Bookeo listing before you reserve.
No. The Academy provides state-required training and issues a Certificate of Completion for successful Unarmed completion, and the Armed course provides firearms training and qualification documentation that you use in the state process. Completion is not an automatic license. The State of Georgia makes all licensing determinations.
