Understanding Minnesota's Security Guard System:

In Minnesota, individuals seeking to work as security guards are not required to obtain a personal license. Instead, they must be employed by a licensed Protective Agent—a state-authorized company to provide security services. These licensed agencies are responsible for ensuring their employees meet specific criteria and complete mandated training.

Basic Requirements for Security Guards:

  • Age: Must be at least 18 years old.
  • Criminal Record: Must have a clean record, free of felony convictions and certain other offenses as specified by Minnesota statutes.
  • Character: Demonstrate good character, honesty, and integrity.

Training Requirements:

  • Pre-Assignment Training: Within the first 21 days of employment, security guards must complete at least 12 hours of pre-assignment training. This training covers topics such as ethics, communication, an overview of the security industry, emergency response procedures, and relevant state laws and regulations. If an individual leaves the profession for three years or more and then returns, this training must be repeated.
  • Continuing Education: Security guards must complete an additional six hours of continuing education annually to maintain their qualifications. This renewal course fulfills that requirement.

Armed Security Guards: For those intending to carry firearms while on duty, additional requirements include:

  • Age: Must be at least 21 years old.
  • Firearms Training: Completion of certified firearms training is mandatory. This training encompasses legal limitations on the use of force, safe handling and maintenance of firearms, and practical shooting exercises. The certified program determines the specific duration of this training.
  • Annual Re-Certification: Armed security personnel must undergo annual re-certification, which includes an additional six hours of training each year.

Employment and Identification: Upon hiring, the employing Protective Agent is responsible for conducting background checks, including fingerprinting, to ensure compliance with state regulations. Employees will be issued identification cards by their employer, which must be carried while on duty.

Individuals and prospective business owners should consult the Minnesota Board of Private Detective and Protective Agent Services for comprehensive and up-to-date information.

Next Steps After Completion:

  1. Download Your Certificate: Immediately available upon course completion
  2. Update Your Records: Provide the certificate to your current employer
  3. Plan Next Year: Mark your calendar for next year's renewal requirement
  4. Explore Advancement: Consider specialized training or supervisory roles
