How do I get a BSIS guard card?
Registered security guards are employed by Security Service Providers or private security companies to protect property or prevent theft as defined in Business and Professions Code (BPC) Section 7582.1. To apply for a security guard registration with the BSIS, you must be 18 years or older to apply for a position as a security guard in California. A criminal history background check will be completed through the FBI and the DOJ. You must also complete the Power to Arrest training.
In order to become a BSIS security guard, you must first pass a criminal background. You can do this by using the Security Guard Request for Live Scan Service form, which is available for download on the Bureau’s website. The form contains the correct coding needed to ensure that the Bureau receives the information in a timely manner- if you don’t use the correct form, it will delay the processing of your application. Remember that you will have to pay all Live Scan, DOJ and FBI processing fees at the time of submission.
Power to arrest training must be completed before a security guard registrant can be issued a Security Guard Registration. If a security guard registrant is unable to provide their employing licensee the certificate of satisfactory completion of the power to arrest training, the registrant must complete the training within six months of their employment date. Lastly, the thirty-two hours of security officer skills training must be completed within the first six months of registration.
If a security guard is unable to produce on request to their employing PPO a copy of their certificates of satisfactory completion of the security officer training within the time limits stipulated, the employees are required to fulfill the eight-hour continuing education requirements no later than 30 days from the date they are enrolled in work.
