What are the new BSIS in-person training requirements for the Basic Guard Card class?

Recent legislation (AB 229, Chapter 697, Statutes of 2021) has expanded the Bureau’s Power to Arrest and firearms trainings to include topics on the appropriate use of force.

Additionally, the new requirements mandate that at least half of this training be conducted in-person. This change ensures that all trainees receive comprehensive, hands-on instruction in these critical areas. View the BSIS Basic Guard Card Course.
