Peace Officer Waivers - Applications for a waiver of training for unarmed and armed security guards may be reviewed up to a
maximum of four years after separation from a non-exempt, sworn, full-time peace officer position in New York. IF YOU ARE A
SEPARATED POLICE OFFICER OR EXEMPT PEACE OFFICER, DO NOT SUBMIT A WAIVER APPLICATION, SEE
EXEMPTIONS BELOW. For the purposes of registration, you may be granted a waiver from training if you can demonstrate
completion of training that meets or exceeds the minimum standards for the 8-Hour Pre-Assignment, OJT or 47 Hour Firearms
courses. To request a waiver, contact DCJS directly at (518) 457-6726, or write them at 80 South Swan Street, 3rd Floor, Albany, NY
12210-8002. If approved, DCJS will send you a waiver letter to submit with your security guard application to DOS.
EXEMPTIONS (DO NOT REQUIRE A WAIVER FROM DCJS)
I. Police Officers:
The Security Guard Act exempts active police officers from the definition of a security guard. This means active police officers
accepting secondary employment are not required to register or complete training. However, if you are an active police officer,
anticipating retirement, and still wish to obtain a Security Guard Registration, you must provide proof of original police officer training
and a letter of good standing from the agency that employs you, along with the original Security Guard Application and finger print
receipt.
Retired Police Officers:
In order to be exempt from the training, you must provide DOS with a letter from your department (signed by your department)
indicating your retirement date. In addition, if you are required by your security guard employer to carry a firearm, or are authorized
to have access to a firearm, you must provide proof to DOS and your employer of having completed a Basic Course for Police
Officers (or an equivalent course), that included initial firearms training, within one year prior to employment as an armed security
guard.
If your initial firearms training occurred more than a year before employment as an armed security guard, you must complete an 8
Hour Annual Firearms Course for Security Guards and report that training to DOS and your employer.
● If it has been more than 10 years since you retired as a police officer, you are additionally required to complete the 8 Hour Annual
In-Service Training Course for Security Guards every year thereafter.
