What is required for an armed guard to maintain their duty?

To maintain their duty, an armed guard must possess a valid firearms permit. This permit demonstrates that the individual has met the necessary legal requirements to carry a firearm in the course of their duties. The permit acts as a regulatory measure ensuring that the guard has undergone the appropriate training and assessments related to firearm use, safety, and handling.

While regular safety training, requalification every year, and registration with law enforcement may be important components of an armed guard’s overall responsibilities and compliance with certain regulations, the fundamental requirement for them to legally carry and use a firearm is a valid firearms permit. Without this permit, they would not be authorized to perform their duties as an armed guard.
