SLED Security Officer training is the required training to become a Certified SLED Security Officer in South Carolina.
We have 3 different classes that we offer to get the Certification you want.
The Unarmed SLED Class with NO Arrest powers.
The Unarmed SLED Class WITH Arrest powers.
The Armed SLED Class that gives you the same powers as the Police Department on the Property the Security Company has the contract with.
Basically here it is explained a little better
- 4 hour class called “Primary Basic” to be Certified as an Unarmed Security Officer, a “Mall Cop” basically where all you can do is “Observe and Report”.
- 4 hour class called “Primary Plus” to become a SLED Certified Unarmed Security Officer with Arrest Powers or in other words the “Same Authority” as the local Police Department on the property with the contract….BUT without a weapon.
- Armed Portion: To become an Armed Security Officer you must take BOTH classes with the addition of the “Weapons Portion” which includes the qualifying of the weapon you will carry on your sites.
- Yes, you can schedule to take all of the above in the same day and qualify with the weapon to become an Armed Security Officer….the qualification portion adds more time to the training so be prepared for a long day.
- You should be prepared to be in training for 8 hours or more, this depends on your level of handling a weapon.
We use INDOOR and OUTDOOR Gun ranges. It depends where we are and what is available.
No matter what type of Shooting Range we use, SAFETY is always Key!!!!!
Our Security Training Location
Our SLED Security Training Center is located in Piedmont, SC.
The physical address is 11027 Anderson Rd BUT sometimes GOOGLE does not take you to the right place.
