SB 741 — Proprietary security services.

Summary

Existing law, the Proprietary Security Services Act, requires a person who meets the definition of a proprietary private security officer to register with the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law requires a proprietary private security officer to complete training in security officer skills within a specified period of time. Existing law authorizes, except as otherwise specified, a registered person to request review by a private security disciplinary review committee, to contest the assessment of fines or to appeal the denial, revocation, or suspension of a registration. Existing law, when certain conditions are met, makes it an infraction to violate various provisions requiring registration, licensure, certification, or other authorization in order to engage in certain businesses or professions. This bill would revise and recast these provisions by requiring, on and after January 1, 2011, proprietary private security officers and proprietary private security employers, as defined, to register with the department. The bill would require applicants for registration to apply to the department on forms provided by the department and would require these applications to include, among other things, a $50 fee for officers and a $75 fee for employers as well as fingerprints for the officer application. The bill would require that, upon approval of an application by the Director of Consumer Affairs, officer and employer applicants be issued a registration card or registration certificate, respectively. The bill would, on and after July 1, 2011, require registered proprietary private security officers to complete training in security officer skills within 6 months from the date upon which registration is issued, or within 6 months of his or her employment with a proprietary private security employer, as specified. The bill would require registered proprietary private security employers to maintain specified records regarding the employment of officers and the completion by officers of training in security officer skills. The bill would also require these officers on duty to carry a valid and current registration card or a specified alternative as well as other identification. The bill would authorize the director to issue a citation, which may include an order of abatement or an order to pay an administrative fine, for a violation of these provisions by a registrant or a person without a valid registration who is acting as a proprietary private security officer or employer. The bill would authorize the director to refuse to approve, or to suspend or revoke, a registration if the applicant or registrant has committed specified acts or crimes. The bill would also, when certain conditions are met, make it an infraction to violate the provision prohibiting a person from engaging in the business of a proprietary private security officer without being registered by the department. By creating a new crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
