What does a security guard do?
A security guard, as defined in Article 7A of the General Business Law [§89-f(6)], is a person employed in New York State to principally perform one or more of the following functions for the: (a) protection of individuals and/or property from harm, theft or other unlawful activity: (b) deterrence, observation, detection and/or reporting of incidents in order to prevent any unlawful or unauthorized activity including but not limited to unlawful or unauthorized intrusion or entry, larceny, vandalism, abuse, arson or trespass on property; (c) street patrol service; or (d) response to but not installation or service of a security alarm system alarm installed and/or used to prevent or detect unauthorized intrusion, robbery, burglary, theft, pilferage and other losses and/or to maintain security of protected premises.

What training will I need?
All security guards (except for those waived or exempted) are required to complete training programs conducted at approved training schools by certified instructors. These training programs include:

8-hour Pre-Assignment – a general, introductory course. You must successfully complete this course and submit the certificate with your application.
16 hour On-the-Job Training (OJT) – relevant to the duties of guards, requirements of the work site and the needs of the employer. You must successfully complete this training within 90 days of employment.
8-hour Annual In-Service Training – must be completed within one calendar year of completion of the 16-hour OJT course, and every year thereafter.

In addition to the above courses, security guards who carry a firearm must also complete:

What forms of payment does NYS accept?
You may pay by Money Order, Company Check or Cashiers Check made payable to the "NYS Department of State". Personal checks or credit cards will NOT be accepted. Do NOT mail cash.

What are the fingerprint requirements?
Every applicant must provide their fingerprints on the Department of State fingerprint card(s), which are provided in the State application packet.

Who is authorized to take fingerprints?
Fingerprinting can be performed by a designated employee of a security firm or an approved training school who has been previously fingerprinted. Fingerprints can also be taken by local and State Police, or sheriffs and chiefs of police.

When does the Notice of Employment section of the application need to be completed?
When employment will begin upon filing the application, you must have the Notice of Employment section completed by your prospective employer. An individual does not have to be employed to be registered.

Employers must determine the qualifications of each applicant for employment as a security guard. The employer must exercise minimum due diligence steps; specific steps are set forth in the Department of State rules, 19 NYCRR §174.6.

Do I need to complete the Child Support Statement section of the application?

Any person who is four months or more in arrears in child support may be subject to having his or her business, professional and driver’s licenses suspended. The intentional submission of a false written statement for the purpose of frustrating or defeating the lawful enforcement of support obligations is punishable under §175.35 of the Penal Law. It is a class E felony to offer a false instrument for filing with a state or local government with the intent to defraud.
