Security & Public Safety Training Institute is licensed under the Texas Department of Public Safety's Private Security Bureau as a Level III and IV Training School.
If you are interested in becoming an armed commissioned security officer, you will be required to attend at least twenty (30) hours of classroom training and ten to fifteen (10-15) hours of firearms training in accordance with the rules set forth in Chapter 1702 of the Texas Occupations Code.
Our course of instruction complies with the requirements of Chapter 1702.1675
§1702.1675. TRAINING PROGRAMS. (a) The commission shall establish a basic training course for commissioned security officers. The course must include, at a minimum:
(1) general security officer training issues; (2) classroom instruction on handgun proficiency; and (3) range instruction on handgun proficiency.
(b) The course must be offered and taught by schools and instructors approved by the commission. To receive commission approval, a school or an instructor must submit an application to the commission on a form provided by the commission.
(c) The basic training course approved by the commission must consist of a minimum of 30 hours.
(d) The general security officer training portion of the course must include instruction on:
(1) commission rules and applicable state laws; (2) field note taking and report writing; and (3) any other topics of security officer training curriculum the commission considers necessary.
(e) The commission shall develop a commissioned security officer training manual that contains applicable state laws and commission rules to be used in the instruction and training of commissioned security officers.
(f) The commission shall adopt rules necessary to administer the provisions of this section concerning the training requirements of this chapter.
(g) The handgun proficiency course must include at least 10 hours and not more than 15 hours of instruction on:
(1) the laws that relate to weapons and to the use of deadly force; (2) handgun use, proficiency, and safety; (3) nonviolent dispute resolution; and (4) proper storage practices for handguns, with an emphasis on storage practices that eliminate the possibility of accidental injury to a child.
(h) The range instruction on handgun proficiency must include an actual demonstration by the applicant of the applicant's ability to safely and proficiently use a handgun. The applicant must demonstrate, at a minimum, the degree of proficiency that is required to effectively operate at least a 9-millimeter or .38-caliber handgun.
(i) The commission by rule shall establish minimum standards for handgun proficiency that are at least as stringent as the standards for handgun proficiency developed by the public safety director under Section 411.188, Government Code.
Students who wish to qualify with their own handgun, rather than a new Academy owned weapon, must provide fifty(50) rounds of ammunition for their handgun and a quality manufactured handgun. Handgun must be at least 9mm for semi-automatics and .38 cal for revolvers (as required by Chapter 1702 of the Texas Occupations Code). |
