  • Fundamental Information

Security guards help ensure the safety of property, employees, and residents. Workers patrol and monitor a wide variety of settings, including shopping malls, banks, entertainment venues, transportation facilities, public museums, and hospitals. States usually regulate the amount of training required for workers in this profession. Those drawn to the security profession should demonstrate an ability to deal with stressful, sometimes dangerous situations.

  • Security Training Programs

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) notes that most security guard employers provide newly hired security guards with job training. Nevertheless, since most states require security guards to be licensed, formal training programs through vocational institutes have become a standard method of training. Each state has different requirements for the amount and type of training needed, so professionals working in various states may have to go through several training programs.

Security guard training programs often must be completed during the first 100 days on the job, though this requirement varies by state. Topics covered during training programs include basic security techniques, investigations, report writing, patrolling tactics, firearm use, and emergency procedures. Workers specializing in particular types of security management such as private, airport, armored car, or armed escort, may need to take additional courses to learn the necessary skills for these specialty security professions.

  • Security Guard Classes

Since most states require security guards to renew licensure or certification, workers often have to participate in a security guard class as a form of continued education required for the renewal process. Some states may have pre-structured classes for the license renewal process, but other states may allow security guards to choose individual classes from an approved list of coursework. These refresher classes typically focus on either armed or unarmed security guard training.
