Attention proprietary security employers.  Are you aware that proprietary security officers, effective December 2009, must complete a 16 hour training course?  If this is news to you, there is no need to worry.  CALSAGA now offers the training curriculum to get you and your officers in compliance with the law.

In response to an increase in assaults on security officers, as well as to properly recognize the ultimate sacrifice of security officers in California, CALSAGA has created a tribute page for the fallen officers whose memory and contributions to protecting Californians will forever be remembered.  Click here to read more about the Security Officer Memorial Foundation, the stories of families that have been assisted by the Foundation and pictures of our fallen heroes.
