Old California BSIS Powers of Arrest California Guard Card Test Review -Prior to 2024 

Glad you found the video beneficial. I wish you the best as you move forward in this industry. Never stop learning.

The 8 hours is the initial course, you can apply then. 32 hours needs to be completed as well but after your first day on the job.

@@UniversitySecurity the 32 hours of training , how does that work ? Can it be done online ?

It’s paper. You will then carry it with you when ever you are on duty.

I’m trying to print them out with the answers so I could just study it like that I already have the WMD printed out with answers I just need this one

BSIS has updated the Powers of Arrest training effective Jan 1st 2024. The link is below, I will say they have not approved a new test question pool yet. The material is still valid in terms of general information but they added a few sections in the new manual. Copy each of the review sections, making your own mock test. The questions are similar, if not identical to what you will find on the guard card exam. bsis.ca.gov/forms_pubs/poa.pdf

They are common sense. The exam can be found in the powers of arrest manual. Keep in mind you need 100%. No one can give you the answers to the test, BSIS does not allow that but it is open book. This is the BSIS Review, each of sections has a set of review questions.

@@UniversitySecurity but was this a practice of the 8 hour course ? The official exam is 60 questions ?

@@UniversitySecurity I appreciate you taking the time out your day to reply man. I've been driving tractors and farming for the last 6 years, before that I was working at stores and gas stations here in Southern California . I'm 32. I also recently got my first pistol , a Glock 17.

Shuan with the Security Investigations and Leadership Channel, on RU-vid, is in the SoCal area and a licensed firearm training facility. He can point you in the right direction in that process.

@@randomdog8107 Yes, this was the practice test.

Yes, you can be an out of state resident and get your license. Processing it likely won’t be easy.

Thank you. I want to add I am not a monetized channel, I have no control nor benefit from the ads.

The initial 8 hours is the guard card test. The other 32 is continuing education. I don’t certify people, which is why this is available for free and can viewed without registration. Shaun at Security and Investigations Leadership channel may be able to provide a reliable and current online provider. He still lives in California and works there on a regular basis.
