Connecticut Security Officer Certification Identification Card (Guard Card)

Saturday December 19, 2009 Connecticut Public Act # 04-192 requires that security officers obtain a Security Officer Certification Identification Card, prior to a Security Service Company registering such employee with the Special License and Firearms Unit. All security officers must be at least 18 years of age and (armed security officers must be at least 21 years of age), to work armed. Applicants for Security Officer Certification Identification Card must complete a course of instruction approved by the Commissioner of Public Safety, at their expense. The course is offered by private instructors and involves classroom criminal justice training. Upon completion of the course, the instructor signs off on the reverse side of the application form DPS 135-C. The application form and fingerprints are then submitted to the Special License and Firearms Unit. The Security Officer card is good for 2 years unless suspended or revoked. Note: Ammo is not included. Please be advised: All classes must be paid in full at the time of registration. The registration fee for all classes is non-refundable. If you wish to switch to an alternate class, you must contact the Shooting Sports Center at least one week prior to the date of the classes, and we will reasonably try to accommodate your request. We reserve the right, at any time, to cancel an under-subscribed program. In the case of any such cancellation, we will give you an appropriate refund.
