School Security Officer Class
Senate Bill SB1626/390 was passed by the California legislature that establishes minimum training requirements and standards for all school security staff whether they work for a school district or contract company. Furthermore, Senate Bill SB390 requires that any individual working full time or part time, such as a security guard, security officer, or campus safety officer responsible for school safety and security complete a training course that contains a specific educational curriculum, which was developed by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) in consultation with the Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST).
This developed educational curriculum consists of a 24-hour school security guard training class. The content of this online course includes, but are not limited to:
- The role and responsibility of school security officers
- Relevant state and federal laws
- School and personal liability issues
- Security awareness in the school environment
- Mediation and conflict resolution
- Disaster and emergency response
- Student behavioral dynamics.
The completion of this online course helps to ensure that all school safety personnel are in compliance with state law, are prepared for what they may encounter, and will be able to handle any situations that may occur in the course of their duties. All school staff tasked with managing or involved with a school security program will benefit from taking this online course.
