Under the Lethal Weapons Training Act 235, an individual must complete specific training to become an armed security officer. This includes an academic module, which may lead to “nonfirearms” certification, and both academic and firearms modules for full firearms certification. The training covers the safe handling and use of lethal weapons, including firearms and other weapons designed to cause serious physical harm, such as nightsticks. The training ensures that armed guards are adequately prepared to carry out their duties responsibly.
