Official State Security Bodyguard Course
PSB Licenses Levels II-III-IV - Personal Protection Officier (PPO)
This course covers and exceeds the required State approved curriculum mandated by the Texas Department of Public Safety - Private Security Bureau in order to certify an officer as having completed a course of study for level II and III training in accordance with chapter 1702 of the Texas Occupation Code and Chapter35 of the Administrative Code.
The state of Texas considers it a criminal offense to perform security-related work without a license. If you or your employer avoid using the terminology “security” but carry out the duties as one (such as event staff, bouncer, courtesy officer, etc); this also includes bodyguard, executive protection, and church security. See section at the bottom of the page.
DPS will require proof of a Level 3 Commission training course in order to process your Level 4 Bodyguard license.
If you need the Level 3 Commission course also, please sign up for both.
Personal Protection Officier Training (DPS certified)
The Level III Training Course is required for all commissioned security officers and personal protection officers.
This class with a written test at the end allowing you to become certified to carry a gun.
The class combines classroom time, physical instruction on handcuffing, holds and restraints, and weapon retention.
The students will spend half of one day at the shooting range and pass a shooting test to qualify to carry a gun.
Make sure to get qualified with the style of weapon you plan on carrying. Once the student completes this course and passes both the firing range and written exam with passing scores you will receive a certificate of completion.
At that time he can take the certificate to any security company he will work for and apply for a job.
