Stay compliant, train smarter, and complete your required 32 hours of continuing education with ease.

To obtain a security guard license, commonly known as a "guard card," in California, you must fulfill specific requirements set by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS). The process involves several steps:
1. Age Requirement:
• You must be at least 18 years old.
2. Criminal Background Check:
• Undergo a criminal history background check through the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This involves submitting fingerprints via Live Scan.
3. Training Requirements:
• Initial Training (8 hours): Before applying, you must complete an 8-hour live instructor training course (not offered by Defencify) covering:

  • Power to Arrest (3 hours): Focuses on the responsibilities and ethics of a security guard, including the legal aspects of arrest.
  • Appropriate Use of Force (5 hours): Designed to introduce, instruct, and familiarize you with the appropriate use of force topics listed in section 7583.7 of the Business and Professions Code.


• Additional Training (32 hours): After receiving your guard card, complete an additional 32 hours of training:

  • Within 30 Days: 16 hours of mandatory courses.
  • Within 6 Months: 16 hours of elective courses.


• Annual Training (8 hours): Complete 8 hours of continuing education annually to maintain your registration.
4. Application Process:
• Online Application: Submit your application through the BreEZe online system. This method often expedites processing times.
• Fees: Pay the required application fee of $$60.
5. Live Scan Fingerprinting:
• Procedure: Complete the Live Scan fingerprinting process using the Security Guard Request for Live Scan Service form, ensuring the BSIS receives your background information promptly.
• Fees: Fees for Live Scan include a $32 DOJ fee, a $17 FBI fee, and a variable "rolling" service fee charged by the Live Scan operator.
6. Application Processing Time:
• Processing times can vary. Submitting your application online via BreEZe may reduce processing time by up to two weeks compared to mailing your application.

Visit the BSIS Security Guard Registration page for comprehensive details and access to necessary forms. Ensure all requirements are met and documentation is accurately completed to facilitate a smooth application process.

I made the mistake of thinking this was the initial course AND the electives

I made the mistake of thinking this was the initial course AND the electives. It’s just the electives, which is well done, just not what I need. Either way the coursework is informative and thorough. Good for a year after purchase so AFTER I do the actual BSIS guard card cert I will have this to complete the requirements. Please email me and let me know which course I need for the cert. Thank you!
