This course is provided for students who completed all previous courses in the security field (The 8 and 16 Hours Security Guard Courses) and want to advance in this professional level for issuance of a special armed guard registration card with the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services as Register Firearms Security Guard. Guards, who are also called security officers, patrol and inspect property to protect against fire, theft, vandalism, and illegal activity. These workers protect their employer’s investment, enforce laws on the property, and deter criminal activity or other problems. They use radio and telephone communications to call for assistance from an ambulance, wrecker, or the police or fire departments as the situation dictates. Security guards write comprehensive reports outlining their observations and activities during their assigned shift.
Armored car guards protect money and valuables during transit. In addition, they protect individuals responsible for making commercial bank deposits from theft or bodily injury. When the armored car arrives at the door of a business, an armed guard enters, signs for the money, and returns to the truck with the valuables in hand. Carrying money between the truck and the business can be extremely hazardous for guards, and a number of them have been robbed and shot in recent years, so armored car guards usually wear bullet-proof vests.
