Source-supplied abstracts

Existing law, the Private Security Services Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of, among others, security guards by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. Existing law requires a security guard registrant to complete not less than 32 hours of training in security officer skills within 6 months from the date an initial registration is issued and requires a security guard registrant to complete 16 of the 32 hours within 30 days from the date the registration is issued, except as specified. Existing law requires a security guard registrant to complete a course in the exercise of the power to arrest and the appropriate use of force as a condition for registration issuance. This bill would, notwithstanding those provisions, allow a registrant who has completed a course in the exercise of the power to arrest and the appropriate use of force to complete the training in security officer skills before registration is issued. Existing law, the Proprietary Security Services Act, provides for the registration and regulation of proprietary private security officers by the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law requires a proprietary private security officer registrant to complete a training in security officer skills within 6 months from the date of registration issuance, or within 6 months of employment by a proprietary private security employer. Existing law requires the department to develop and establish a standard course and curriculum, including the minimum hours of instruction, for the security officer skills training. This bill would, notwithstanding those provisions, allow a registrant who has completed a course in the exercise of the power to arrest and the appropriate use of force to complete the training in security officer skills before registration is issued. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Sections 7574.18 and 7583.6 of the Business and Professions Code proposed by SB 1203 to be operative only if this bill and SB 1203 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
