About Us

Eternal Vigilance is born of a dream and a need.  It is our passion to provide civilians with the necessary skills to be prepared for self or family-defense situations.  We also specialize in training Church Security Teams from the ground up to advanced tactics necessary for keeping a congregation safe in these uncertain times.  We have a large staff of certified instructors for high instructor-student ratios. We are located, owned, and operated in the beautiful valley town of Kamiah, Idaho.  Our facilities are located less than 2 miles from town on Beaverslide Road and easily accessible.  Our partnerships provide you with a comfortable and well-equipped classroom and easy-to-find shooting range.
