Armed Security Guard Training in Hawaii
In Hawaii, effective July 1 2013, all security guards will need to be registered. However, the state statues prohibit the use of guns; therefore, it is up to each county to make those requirements for armed security guards. However, counties must satisfy requirement regulations pursuant to section 134-2(g)
Basic Requirements:
- Must be at least 21 year old
- High School diploma or equivalent
- Four years of guard experience
- Pass an Exam
- Be mental sound and not suffering from any psychological disorder, which will impede you from performing security guard duties
- No convictions (not including expunged or annulled by the courts)
- Submit to a criminal background check
- Have good moral character
- Have not committed any acts of fraud
- Submit to fingerprinting
- Provide criminal background abstract for the last 10 years
- Good physical conditioning
- Weapon permit issued by county police
Training Requirements:
- Class room instruction (8 hours) before assigned to post
- Yearly refresher training (4 hours)
For more information, see the State of Hawaii Board of Private Detectives and Guards webpage here or call your local county clerk’s office.
I have never been a security guard but would like to start
Have 6 year experience in security including working for a fortune 100 biotech company in California. I wish to inquire about going armed security for potential increase in pay.
