Security Guard and PSO Training Requirements (California)
The following CA State security guard training requirements are taken from the the
CA State BSIS Security Guard Training Requirements.
The Power to Arrest - Part A and Appropriate use of Force - Part B training must be completed prior to the issuance of a Security Guard License (guard card) or PSO license (BPC Sections 7583.6 and 7583.8).

Eight (8) hours of continuing training must be completed annually (BPC 7583.6 and CCR 643). The training may be administered by the guard's employing private patrol operator or by a Bureau-certified course provider, such as an instructor with a TFF license. The training may be administered by the PPSO’s employing PSE or a Bureau-certified course provider, such as an instructor with a TFF license.

BSIS Advises:
All registered security guards and PSOs should maintain their own documented proof of completion of their training.
Employers are required to maintain records for a minimum of two years; however registrants may need to provide subsequent
employers or BSIS with training records. As a result, the BSIS recommends that registrants maintain copies of all of their own training records.
BSIS Standards:
According to current BSIS standards, a student can only earn 8-hours' worth of BSIS training certificates in a single 24-hour day.
Because of this standard, for example, this 32-hour
BSIS CE course package (PK-102), requires at least four calendar days to complete. We strongly recommend that students plan their training time
accordingly. A student earning more than 8-hours of BSIS certifictes in a single calendar day, including certificates from more than
one training provider, is considered to be in violation of BSIS standards. This can result in the student being subject
to BSIS disciplinary action, including revocation of a student's BSIS license.
TwoProtect Training Institute is
now tracking the number of certificate hours that a student can earn in single twenty-four (24) hour day, and limiting
that to 8-hours as per the BSIS standard.
Training Hours:The
training hours listed above are broken down as follows:
-
All Security Guards and PSOs must take the
first 8-hour required course before applying for their Guard
Card (8 hours).
-
All Security Guards and PSOs must take 8
hours of Mandatory Courses and 8 hours of Elective Courses
within the first 30 days of starting work (16 hours).
-
All Security Guards and PSOs must take an
additional 8 hours of Mandatory Courses and 8 hours of Elective
Courses within the first six months of work (16 hours).
