Level III — Commissioned Security Guard (Or Armed Security Guard)

A Level III guard is an armed Security Guard who is authorized to carry firearms. Level III training is extensive, and the Security Guard must complete advanced security courses and tests in order to obtain this level of authorization. Typically, a commissioned armed Security Guard is employed in higher-risk areas, or areas that require further protection due to the value of assets. This is why Level III training is so demanding.

This course meets and exceeds the training requirements of the Private Security Board (PSB) for a Personal Protection Officer license.
