Lol @ The Almighty Weasel....
I was surprised when the Ca. Legislature allowed the 1299 and 832 requirements to expire. I suspect though, that in the future, they will be re-instated.
My state right now is an unlicensed and unregulated state. This has its pros and cons. However, in my own opinion, we are slowly progressing towards some sort of regulation within the next few years. The reason I say this is because my state in 2009 created a regulatory commission overseeing the private security industry. They have now established licensing fees, background checks, firearms training for armed positions, etc. According to the website, anyone who is currently engaged in this type of work has to be compliant no later than December of this year.
Armed Security Guard License
Last Updated on Tuesday, 26 January 2010
The state of Alabama requires a state license for any person seeking employment as an armed security guard. There are certain requirements in the state of Alabama to qualify for an armed security guard license in order to work as an armed guard. This includes training at a state certified training facility for the amount of hours required by the state and weapons training.
These requirements are:
Armed security guards must be at least 21 years old.
A valid Alabama driver’s license is required.
A state pistol license will be needed when applying
A high school diploma or an equivalency certificate
A written questioner must be filled out, both front and back.
The required amount of hours of training at a state certified facility must be completed.
A social security number is requested.
The applicant will submit to a background check.
The applicant will submit to fingerprinting.
The applicant will have no felony convictions or serious misdemeanor offensives. The armed security guard is required to have a higher amount of training than the unarmed security guard, since they will be armed with a weapon. This due to the fact this applicant will have a greater insurance risk and have more responsibilities. The training that is needed will be done at a state certified facility and a weapons license from the state of Alabama would also be required.
The training will include:
There will be training in legal and ethical issues.
Training in the state laws involving the use of force.
How to deal with medical emergencies including CPR.
How to deal with fire emergencies.
Weapons training, including target and marksmen training
Legal issues and use of force
Limited types of arrest
Detainment of suspects
Proper written reports.
These are some of the areas the Alabama licensed armed security guard will find employment. The license the armed security guard carries and their weapons license will need to be renewed every four years. There will also be requirements to keep the licensing up to date with yearly refresher courses in both security training and weapons qualifications.
