California SB1148 mandates training requirements for security guards, including power to arrest and use of force.

SB1148 amends California's Business and Professions Code to establish training requirements for security guards. It mandates that applicants complete a course in the exercise of the power to arrest and the appropriate use of force. Security guard registrants must complete 16 hours of training before registration issuance and the remaining 16 hours within six months of employment. Employers must provide annual review or practice of security officer skills, and maintain records for inspection. Military training may substitute for some training requirements.
