More on California Security Guard Training Business

There's a lot to consider when establishing a business training security guards. Requirements vary by state, of course. Here in California, we have to work with the state's Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. There are a number of applications that need to be completed and fees that have to be paid.

After that's done, you need to accumulate all your educational material that make up your curriculum. All that needs to be approved by BSIS. The basic 8-hour course called Powers To Arrest is available for free (thank Goodness!) directly from the BSIS web site.

Then, you need a location. As many here already know, it's tough in California to get permission for having firearms on the premises. For this business, you can get by without it. Most of the courses, and probably 95% of the business, doesn't require firearms. For firearms permits, qualifications and requalifications, you can use a nearby range. That's my approach.

Here's that business. It's called Academy Firearms & Security Training.
