Complete·5/8/25

SB1384 establishes enhanced armed guard certification for armed security guards in Tennessee.

SB1384 amends Tennessee law to create a new category of armed security guard certification called "enhanced armed guard." To qualify, an applicant must hold a current registration card, have relevant experience, and pass a criminal background check, psychological evaluation, written examination, and an in-person training course. The enhanced armed guard training must include scenario-based training on weapon deployment and secure storage. The certification expires one year after issuance and requires renewal with an annual background check.
