Walk the interviewer through any security training you may have received from a previous security services position. Discuss which training you excelled in, which coursework was your favorite, or how you finished top of the class! Your coursework may be on your resume; however, the interviewer is not asking for another bulleted list. They want you to bring the training to life for them.
If you are new to your career and without any formal training, that is okay too! Avoid leading with the negative (I don't have...) and, instead, lead with the positive and mention how you have taken the initiative to self-teach online, for instance.

"In my previous role, I received excellent training in police support services, which was an exciting opportunity. I learned a lot about the logistics surrounding monitoring public areas and responding to lower-priority calls. I look forward to additional training with Allied Universal as I am keen to grow in my security services career."

Focus on having the training required for the job. If the job description says a minimum of five years of experience is required, be sure you fulfill that requirement before applying for the job.
