Thank you for your interest in Powers Security Training and the Guard Skills
program. Getting your Guard Card is a process. First you must complete the Bureau
of Security and Investigative Services Power to Arrest Training (the 8 hour initial
guard card class). Our fee for this class is $50.
After you complete the class, you must then apply with the State Bureau of Security
and Investigative Services and have your livescan fingerprints done. The fee for BSIS
is $50 and the livescan fee is $66 to $74 depending on the livescan facility. It takes
BSIS two to three weeks to process your application and then you should receive your
Guard Card in the mail.
You may begin working once you have been approved by BSIS or when you have
received your guard card. You must still complete your training in accordance with
Assembly Bill 2880. Once you receive your Guard Card or begin employment the
State requires that 16 hours of training be completed during the first month. You then
have until the sixth month to complete the final 16 hours of training which, including
your first 8 hour class, completes the required total of 40 hours of training.
All Guard Skills classes run from 9:00am to 5:00pm and are held at 1111 Alta Vista.
Monterey is the nearest cross street. Please park on the street but not in front of 1107
or 1110. If you do you will be asked to move. Pre-registration will guarantee you a
place in class. A registration form is included and is due one week before class.
You must bring a photo ID when attending class.
