Firearms
To carry a firearm in the performance of security duties, a security officer must obtain a Class "G" Statewide Firearm License. The firearm must be required by the employing agency and must be carried openly.

Proof of citizenship or legal resident alien status must be submitted by individuals applying for a Class "G" or Class "K" license.

How To Apply
Applications are available by online request or by contacting any of our regional offices.

When the application is received, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Federal Bureau of Investigation performs a criminal history record check to determine if the applicant has a criminal history which will disqualify him or her from licensure.

An applicant for a Class "D" Security Officer License must have 40 hours of training at a licensed school or training facility.

An applicant who is required to carry a firearm must also have a Class "G" Statewide Firearm License. A Class "G" Statewide Firearm License requires an additional 28 hours of range and classroom training administered by a Class "K" Firearms Instructor.

Any person applying for a license must:

Be at least 18 years of age
Be of good moral character
Have no disqualifying criminal history
