Becoming a Security Officer
To become a security officer and maintain your license, you must complete an 8-hour pre-assignment and 16-hours of on-the-job training. Students must complete an 8-hour in-service annually. Licenses expire every two years with a $25 fee payable to NYS-DOS. Some employers may insist on a fireguard license. We recommend completing the fireguard course while waiting for your security license to be processed. After successful cpmpletion of your 8hr course and before you complete the 16hr course, you can get fingerprinted and apply for your security license.
