Armed Security Guard Training in Louisiana
To become licensed as an armed security guard in Louisiana, you must successfully complete the training requirements for a security guard and additional firearms training, according to the Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners. That license is only good for the security company that hires you, and cannot be carried to another company. However, your training will transfer to another company but you will have to go through the licensing process again if changing companies.
Minimum Requirements
- Must be at least 21 years old
- State issued driver’s license
- Valid social security card
- Submit to finger printing
- Submit passport photo
- Complete (2) 8-hour trainings
- The first 8-hour course is about the contract security company.
- Classroom training can be administered by the hiring company or through Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners.
Basic Training Curriculum
A basic training conducted may include but is not limited to the following:
- Role of Private Security
- Legal Aspects
- Patrol and Observation
- Incident Response
- Security Resources: Surveillance operation and documentation
- Customer Service Issues: Working with and addressing the public
- First Aid Overview
Firearms Training Requirements:
Firearms training must be conducted by a state licensed instructor and must be completed before assigned a post. In addition, you must train with the weapon you will be armed with at your post. If your weapon changes at any time, you must retrain for that particular weapon.
Fees:
- Application fee $40
- Fingerprinting $55.25 (This includes state and FBI check)

Hello,
My name is Danny Zanelotti. I have been a Bodyguard for the past 12 years, and I am looking to switch to the instructor side to help share my experience and training.
I have already submitted my packet to the Louisiana Board of Private Security Examiners and am waiting to schedule my exam for my state license.
My career has taken me from Afghanistan to Iraq to Microsoft. I have protected the President of Afghanistan, worked with the Secret Service to protect Vice President Cheny, many visiting US Diplomats to Afghanistan and Iraq, such as: Hilary Clinton, Sen. John McCain, and Condolezzaa Rice, Rush Limbaugh, and I have worked Corporate Executive Protection at Microsoft protecting Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer.
I do have experience instructing in the Army, as well as teaching martial arts for over 20 years, and being a certified Federal Firearms Instructor with the State Department.
Attached is my resume for review. If you are interested in speaking with me about a presently open position, or maybe one in the future, I would like to speak with you.
Thank you,
Danny Zanelotti
