About The NYS Security Guard Training Program

Every private security guard in the state of New York must successfully complete three mandatory training courses in accordance with the Security Guard Act of 1992. These training programs are offered exclusively by approved training institutions like the Tribune Training Academy, and are led by qualified and trained instructors. To ensure that this training is of the highest quality, the Division of Criminal Justice Services, Office of Public Safety oversees private security guard training in New York State.
The first of the three training courses is the Eight Hour Pre-Assignment Training course. This course serves as an introduction for future security guards and issues a certificate upon completion. This certificate must be submitted within three months of taking the course and alongside the guard’s registration application.
Next, guards must successfully complete the 16 Hour On-The-Job Training course, which mirrors their job-related responsibilities and employer requirements. This course may be taken in either a conventional classroom setting or on the actual job site.
The final course is the Eight Hour Annual In-Service course, which should be completed every year following the 16 Hour OJT course. The course provides refreshers on the most recent advancements in the security industry and is mandatory for the renewal of a guard’s registration.
