Official Summary Text

AB 1364, as introduced, Chen.
Private security services: patrol operators: training.
Existing law, the Private Security Services Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of private patrol operators by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, and makes violations of its provisions a crime. Existing law prohibits a licensed private patrol operator from allowing an employee to perform the functions of a security guard without confirming that the person holds a current and valid security guard registration. Existing law requires an applicant for a security guard registration to complete a course in the exercise of the power to arrest and the appropriate use of force as a condition for the issuance of the registration, as provided.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.
