SECURITY GUARD TRAINING
In 1992 the New York State Legislature passed the Security Guard Act, requiring that all
security guards in the state be registered and receive mandated training in a series of
courses. Prompted by this legislation, Monroe Community College's Public Safety Training
Center offers the following courses:
- PSP906 - The Eight Hour Pre-Assignment Course covers the basics of security training.
- PSP907 - The Sixteen Hour OTJ (On the Job) Training Course teaches skills that are "job
specific.
- PSP910 - The Eight Hour Annual Recertification Course reviews and stresses new and current
issues.
- PSP909 - The 47 Hour Basic Firearms Course for Security Guards.
- PSP912 - The Eight Hour Annual Firearms Refresher.
The Training Center is a BMP (Bureau for Municipal Police) certified facility for these
courses, which are approved by the New York State Division for Criminal Justices Services. All
instructors are also certified by the BMP.
Monroe Community College, through its Public Safety Training Center, has been a pioneer in
Western New York for private security training. We will continue to lead the way in
preparing men and women to meet the challenges of this popular and demanding career.
