Why Train With T.P.C.?
Training Backed by Real-World Experience
Training should do more than check a box—it should prepare you to act when something goes wrong. At The Prepared Citizen, our courses are built around practical, real-world skills that can be understood, remembered, and applied under pressure. We combine hands-on instruction with experience drawn from military service, emergency medicine, firefighting, rescue, and public safety to create training that is relevant, realistic, and approachable. Whether we are working with a family, school, church, business, or individual student, the goal is the same: build capable, confident people who are better prepared to protect themselves, help others, and make sound decisions when every second counts.
Meet
The Founder
Jared Davis is the founder of The Prepared Citizen and T.P.C. Training & Consulting. A U.S. Army veteran, former Military Police leader and combat medic, and career Firefighter-EMT, Jared has spent more than 15 years working in environments where preparation, sound judgment, and the ability to act under pressure matter.
His experience spans military operations, emergency medicine, fire and rescue services, public safety, and community training. Throughout his career, he has developed a passion for giving everyday people practical skills they can actually use when something goes wrong.
The Prepared Citizen was built around a simple belief: preparedness should not be driven by fear. It should be built through knowledge, realistic training, and confidence.
Through TPC, Jared provides practical training and consulting focused on emergency medical care, personal and family preparedness, firearms safety and proficiency, active-threat response, and organizational and community safety. His goal is to help individuals, families, churches, businesses, and communities become more capable, confident, and prepared to respond when it matters most.
