5Security Guard Training Advisory
Waivers/Exemptions from Mandated Training
II. Peace Officers:
Section 170.1 of Title 19 NYCRR exempts from the definition of a security guard, any individual designated as a peace officer under
Article 2 of the NYS Criminal Procedure Law (CPL). The powers of a peace officer are only valid while the individual is acting in his or
her official capacity for their primary employer. Consequently, during outside employment (moonlighting), a peace officer is no longer
acting in his or her official capacity, and, therefore, must register and complete all training, (unless the individual has either been
waived, or is exempt [based on specific job titles] (see Recent Amendments that may have a direct affect on you, below).
Current Peace Officers Applying for Firearms Training Waivers
If your employer has authorized you to carry a firearm in the line of duty, and you have been employed for 18 months or more and
can exhibit a valid certificate, you are exempt from the 47 Hour Firearms Couse, and the addition 8 Hour Annual Firearms Course for
holders of an armed security guard registration. Individuals seeking registration as an armed guard, must provide the Department of
State with a copy of a waiver letter (issued by DCJS) and a certificate of completion for the MPTC Basic Course for Peace Officer
with Firearms, or both the Basic Course for Peace Officers without Firearms and Firearms and Deadly Physical Force [long firearms
course].
Recent Amendments that may have a direct affect on you:
Section 89-n (4) GBL has been amended to exempt certain categories of peace officers (see Categories of Peace Officers Exempt
from Training per Amendment to §89-n (4) GBL, next page) from the following training: 47 Hour Firearms Course, 8-Hour Pre-
Assignment, OJT, and 8 Hour Annual In-Service. To qualify for an exemption, a peace officer must either be currently employed in
one of the job titles (see categories of Peace Officers Exempt from Training per Amendment to §89-n (4) GBL, next page), or
retired from one of those job titles for not more than 10 years. Although exempt from the 8 Hour Annual In-Service training course
for the first 10 years of retirement, the retired peace officer is subject to an 8 Hour Annual Firearms training course, if their basic
course was completed more than a year prior to filing their security guard application.
Note: If it has been more than 10 years since an individual retired as a peace officer, they are required to completed the 8 Hour
Annual In-Service Training Course for Security Guards, and additionally, if armed, the 8 Hour Annual In-Service Firearms Training
Course every year thereafter.
