Exposed Firearms Permit

14-hours course (8 hours classroom, 6 hours range) in the carrying and use of firearms given by a Bureau-certified firearms training instructor at a Bureau certified training facility.

The firearm training course is designed to teach students basic technical aspects and legal responsibilities inherent in carrying and using a firearm. Knowing how and when to use a firearm are equally important. Knowing how to use the firearm may save your life. Knowing when to use the firearm may keep you from being criminally prosecuted and going to jail.

Baton

The baton training course is designed to provide students with the minimum level of proficiency to carry and use a baton while on duty as private security guards. Individuals required to obtain a baton permit must be taught in the format described in Section 7585.9(a) of the Business and Professions Code. The Baton Training Manual provides that format.

Per BSIS regulation, upon successful completion of the course, the student leaves the classroom with the Baton Permit in hand.

No CCW Courses

Due to the implementation of SB2, we do not want to risk our student's livelihoods with confusing and often contradictory information. Therefore, we are not teaching CCW courses (new or qualifications) until the laws become clear.
