Security Guard Requirements

• You must be 18 years old or over.
• You cannot have a violent felony or misdemeanor on your record.

If you have a conviction for something other than a crime of violence, the State will consider the circumstances and any evidence of rehabilitation. You’ll have the opportunity to explain your situation on the Guard Card application. Just be honest.

BSIS also requires you to take 8 hours of training classes before you can apply for a California Guard Card. The two mandatory courses are:

Module A

8 hours – Initial Guard Card Class.

• Power to Arrest (4 hours)
• Weapons of Mass Destruction (4 hours)

After you’re done with your classes, you need to get your Livescan fingerprints taken so the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) can do a criminal background check.

There is:

• NO drug test – Your future employer may require one before you get hired, but BSIS does not.
• NO education requirement – You don’t need a high school diploma or GED to apply for a Guard Card.

After you get your Guard Card.

BSIS has a few more training requirements you need to follow to keep your Guard Card in good standing order.
