This course is designed to instruct the security officer in the moral and legal aspects on the use of the firearm while on duty. This course will not allow the student to carry a concealed weapon. There is no temporary firearm permit. Students must wait until a record check has been conducted by the state and federal agencies involved to receive the license. Must be at least 18 years of age to take this course.(*Potential to change, Students be advised*)
Effective January 1, 2018, State law requires a security guard applying for an initial BSIS firearms permit must be found capable of exercising appropriate judgment, restraint, and self-control for the purposes of carrying a firearm during the course of their guard duties. The determination will be carried out via an assessment administered by a third-party vendor selected by BSIS, NOT BY US. The cost of this assessment is separate from any course fees listed in our website. This assessment will not be done by us. If you have any questions regarding this law contact BSIS at (916) 322-4000 or bsis@dca.ca.gov
