Not having to be licensed as a guard is true, confirmed by the state of Hawaii..HOWEVER..you still need to register with the Board of Private Detectives and Guards..and there is a separate application which is downloadable on there website which is attached to this reply above. You DO NOT need 4 years of work experience to continue work on July 1 2013. That is a misconception.
Lonnie…I believe that if you want to be licensed that 4 years of experience needs to be in Hawaii, but not too sure about that.
my company says we have to pay for our own card. is this true or do we really even need the card
All the criteria contained at the beginning of this post is accurate.
Payment for fees leading up to receiving one’s card is strictly something between a guard/officer and their employer.
Many in the State have already begun the process of registering their teams…most are paying for the time and fees involved (about $170) for their existing staff…this is strictly an employer decision.
How much do security guards make per hour starting?
I have two questions.
First question: I am an American citizen that has been working as a security guard for the last seven years in Sweden full time working togther with the polise and prission institutons,I have taken and passed all of the accredited courses pertaningto the laws of sweden and being a certified guard plus I have worked as a team leader security manager the required college level exams.
Now I´m moving to Hawaii and want to apply for my guard license but I never got my high school deploma or GED, so my question is would the board take that my experience and other education into consideration
concerning having a high school deploma or equivlant
criteria?
Aloha,
I have applied for a security guard job at a high school through Star Protection Agency. I have completed all of the requirements and I’ve submitted my application for the guard card this past November. I’m told by other guards that it took Star “forever” (their words, not mine) to get their cards. So why does it take so long?
