California Guard Card

California Guard Card

• Recent reports clearly demonstrate that private
  security officers are in high demand right now in
  the state of California. However, before one can
  be employed in this sector, he or she ought to be
  both trained and in ownership of a
  state-certified security guard license, commonly
  referred to as guard card in California.
• The California Guard Card ensures companies that
  their employees are competent to do the job.
  Being employed without a valid security guard
  card is definitely discouraged, as it might
  result in substantial penalties for both the
  employer and the employee.
• The Bureau of Security and Investigative Services
  (BSIS) is the agency that regulates the licensing
  of private security guards in the state of
  California. They specify which requirements
  applicants have to meet before they are issued a
  permit to work as a security guard. The very
  first and most basic demand is that every
  candidate is at least 18 years of age. You will
  not be given a security guard card if you don't
  meet the age requirement.

• The next demand is to complete a Power to Arrest
  training program which covers the most crucial
  things you need to know before becoming a
  security guard. The training program takes up 8
  hours and is required to be completed at one of
  California's state-approved security guard
  training institutions. Upon completion of the
  8-hour course, all guard card applicants are
  required to pass a multiple-choice exam.
• California state law also requires security
  guards to be clear of any criminal convictions,
  therefore the next phase in the application
  process consists of proving to the BSIS that we
  possess a clean criminal background. This can be
  done by having our fingerprints documented in an
  electronic form and submitting them to the
  Federal Bureau of Investigation for criminal
  history verification.

• Now that we have completed the essential training
  and submitted our fingerprints, we would like to
  sign up for our guard card. This can be done by
  filling in a security license request form and
  submitting it to the licensing bureau either on
  the internet or by postal mail. Your personal
  license will arrive in your mailbox within 2 to 3
  weeks after you submitted the form.
• Even though you are only allowed to be employed
  as soon as your California Guard Card arrives, we
  suggest you to begin job seeking from the instant
  you submitted the license application form in
  order to maximize your chances.
