Our expert team of attorneys and consultants will be glad to provide necessary legal assistance.
A private security guard, whether armed or unarmed, affords an extra layer of protection for a wide variety of companies, events, governmental agencies, etc. A security guard can serve as a first responder, reporter, authority figure, protection, and much more.
The Council on Law Enforcement Education (CLEET) licenses all private security guards in the State of Oklahoma. CLEET sets the licensing guidelines and requirements, and you can find them here3.
In some instances, police officers and Oklahoma sheriffs’ deputies who are working off duty serve as security personnel. Generally speaking, most private unarmed and armed security guards do not have the same advanced training as police officers. However, they also generally receive less pay and do not have the same duties and legal obligations that police officers and other law enforcement personnel have.
Unless an individual serving as an Oklahoma security guard is also commissioned as a police officer or other law enforcement personnel, then then answer is, “No.” Security guards are not law enforcement personnel. Police officers do not need to obtain security guard agency licenses, unless they plan on opening their own security agencies with a staff of security guards.
All security guards must take phases I and II of the CLEET training. This is often performed at a school such as Metro tech Here1 or another career tech school. Successful security guards in Oklahoma must then take and pass the appropriate examinations, upon completion of the courses. At this point, an applicant for an unarmed security guard license can then submit the application for a license, which is found on the Council for Law Enforcement and Education’s website here . . . here2.
Armed security guards have additional licensing requirements and educational components. In addition to the other phases of training and the testing, an applicant for an armed security guard license must also take phase IV and pass its testing requirements. This phase is the firearms training course, and it usually lasts about a week. Prior to enrolling in this course, an applicant for an armed security guard license must first pass a psychological evaluation. This is essential, as it helps keep those who might have an inclination to misuse guns in a harmful way from obtaining licensure.
It is worth noting that those who are seeking to obtain a license in Oklahoma as an armed security guard must also purchase or borrow their own guns from someone else prior to beginning the phase IV course. Along with the gun purchase, they must also have a sufficient number of ammunition rounds, as well as a holster. This is essential equipment for armed security guards.
As noted above, Oklahoma applicants for armed security guard licenses have to go through an additional firearms training, a psychological evaluation, and must possess an appropriate firearm, ammunition, and holster. Needless to say, all of this extra training requires more time and money. This extra training and additional expenses, along with increased risk situations armed security guards must often face, definitely warrant their higher pay.
If the person seeking to become a licensed armed private security guard is going to immediately enroll in phase IV, the firearms course, and attempt to pass the examination, then it is usually best for that person to wait until he or she has successfully completed it. Otherwise, the applicant will have to unnecessarily pay more money when trying to upgrade to the armed security guard license.
If an individual is not going to attempt phase IV for quite some time and/or needs work right away, then it might be better for him or her to just go ahead and apply for the unarmed security guard license. This will allow the applicant to go ahead and begin work sooner, while he or she decides when and if pursuing armed security guard training and the accompanying license will prove to be helpful.
Our private security guards can come from diverse and varied backgrounds. Some are fresh out of security guard school, while others have prior military/police experience, university degrees in criminal justice, and more. Oklahoma Judicial Process Servers appreciates dedicated, professional Oklahoma security guards from all walks of life who stand ready and prepared to serve.
While our Oklahoma security guards can be trained to carry a firearm, they will not perform the same duties as our bodyguards will. For example, an unarmed security guard is not trained, equipped, or paid enough to take a bullet for you. In essence, our bodyguards often have advanced experience, training, knowledge, and serve in a completely different and often dangerous capacity than most of our security guards do.
Our noteworthy security guards only serve in the State of Oklahoma. They do not work outside of this jurisdiction. The fantastic bodyguards at Oklahoma Judicial Process Servers will travel with you wherever you decide to go. Thus, if you plan to travel to another state or country, our bodyguards will happily accompany you.
