Proprietary Security Officer Card is a card which is
issued by BSIS.
This card is not the same as a full guard card and thus
the training requirements are not the same.
You must still complete a full Live Scan background
check as well as fill an application with BSIS.
This card indicates you perform security for a single
entity and are not hired out. Example working at a hospital, you
receive a paycheck from the hospital and they have you register as an
employee, you wear their distinctive uniform.
IF you have any questions call 1-888-948-4774
NO!!! Since you have not undergone the additional
training requirements to obtain the full guard card you may not carry
any deadly weapon as a PSO, such as a Baton or Firearm.
Again in order to carry a deadly weapon as stated in the
Penal Code you must comply with the states requirements under the Penal
Code, Business and Profession Code and California Code of Regulations
governing this issue.
