California — Security Guards are required to obtain a license from
the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), of
the California Department of Consumer Affairs. Applicants must be at
least 18 years old, undergo a criminal history background check
through the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and complete a 40-hour course of
required training. This required training is broken down into smaller
training sections and time-lines. The first is 8 hours of BSIS-designed
instruction on powers to arrest and weapons. Then, within 30 days of
getting the individual officers license, they must receive 16 hours of
training on various mandatory and elective courses. Finally, within 6
months of getting their license, they must receive an additional 16
hours of training on various mandatory and elective courses.
California security officers are also required to complete 8 hours of
annual training on security-related topics, in addition to the initial 40
hours of training. The training and exam may be administered by any
private patrol operator or by any of a large number of certified training
facilities. This training can be in the classroom or online. [44][45]
