NYC safety school gave 20K construction workers certificates without training them — directly leading to man’s death: DA Bragg
A Brooklyn security company allegedly doled out tens of thousands of fraudulent safety certificates to students who paid hundreds of dollars — but never provided any training for the crucial life-saving safety measures, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday.

D.A. Bragg, D.O.I. Commissioner Strauber, D.O.B. Commissioner Oddo Announce Indictment Of Valor Security For Operating Sham Safety Training School With Approx. 20k “Students”
District Attorney Bragg said: “In the construction industry, fraud can mean life or death – not only for the individuals working on the site, but for the general public that moves around them every single day. We allege that Valor Security & Investigations ran a fraudulent safety training school, falsely claiming that construction workers received the necessary training required to work on construction sites. We also allege that the death of one recipient, Ivan Frias, may have been prevented if not for the defendants’ reckless failure to train him. With our partners at DOI and DOB, we are determined to root out fraud, especially when it puts New Yorkers at risk. We will not let harm come to workers because companies want to turn a quick profit.”
