Summary

Existing law, the Private Security Services Act, a violation of which is a crime, provides for the licensing and regulation of private patrol operators by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services in the Department of Consumer Affairs. The act requires the bureau to issue a firearms permit to a licensee, a qualified manager of a licensee, or a registered security guard if certain conditions are met, including that a certified firearms training instructor has certified that the applicant has successfully completed a written examination prepared by the bureau and training course in the carrying and use of firearms approved by the bureau. This bill would prohibit a certified firearms training instructor who maintains a firearms permit from self-certifying or requalifying himself or herself as having met that requirement. Because a violation of that prohibition would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. In order to recertify or requalify, the bill would require a firearms training instructor to attend an exposed firearm class or requalification by another certified firearms training instructor, and to successfully complete a written examination prepared by the bureau and a training course in the carrying and use of firearms approved by the bureau. 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.
