Depends on the state. Some states require training and licensing, some do not require anything. I would open your phone book and call a security company or two. If you want to go into business yourself I would call your states version of consumer affairs and ask them about what licenses you may need.

Good luck.

It depends on where you want to work. States have laws pertaining to what a security officer can do or what authority they have, whether or not you need a license to become a security officer, and what training, if any, you need to become a security officer. In most cases, you must have specific training and be licensed to become an armed security officer. Employers are demanding security officers be more qualified than in the past. Look into private security and government security jobs. Security officer jobs are sometimes easy to get, and sometimes applicants are required to have many qualifications. Many security companies will provide training to their officers. However, many security companies, especially the better paying ones, often prefer applicants to have a criminal justice degree or military experience and require them to have security training. Many companies prefer applicants with military experience.

apply first of course =)
