Proprietary security services: reporting: discharge of a firearm or physical altercation. Proprietary and private security services. Existing(1) Existing law, the Proprietary Security Services Act, prohibits a person from engaging in the business of a proprietary private security officer or a proprietary private security employer, as defined, unless the person is registered with the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law requires the Chief of the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services to, upon approval of an application by the Director of Consumer Affairs, issue a proprietary private security officer registration card or a proprietary private security employer registration certificate, as specified. Existing law authorizes the director Director of Consumer Affairs to issue a citation, including, among other things, an order to pay an administrative fine, for a violation of the Proprietary Security Services Act, and requires those fines collected to be deposited in the Private Security Services Fund, which is available upon appropriation by the Legislature. Existing law requires the department to establish by regulation a schedule of fines for violations of that act or any regulations adopted pursuant to that act.Existing law requires a person licensed as a private patrol operator, as defined, to deliver to the director a written report describing the circumstances surrounding the discharge of any firearm, or physical altercation with a member of the public while on duty, by a licensee or any officer, partner, or employee of a licensee while acting within the course and scope of their employment within 7 business days after the qualifying incident, as specified.This bill would require a person registered as a proprietary private security officer employer to deliver a written report to the director describing the circumstances surrounding the discharge of any firearm, or any physical altercation with a member of the public by a registered proprietary private security officer while on duty, in a manner similar to the above-described report required from a person licensed as a private patrol operator. duty and while acting within the course and scope of their employment within 7 business days after the qualifying incident, as specified. The bill would impose a $2,500 fine for failing to deliver that report.(2) Existing law, the Private Security Services Act, a violation of which is a misdemeanor, provides for the licensure and regulation of private patrol operators and the registration of security guards by the Director of Consumer Affairs. The act requires a licensed private patrol operator, a qualified manager of a licensed private patrol operator, or a registered security guard who, during the course and scope of licensed activity, carries or uses a baton in the performance of their duties to possess a valid baton permit issued by a certified baton training facility in accordance with specified requirements. The act makes this provision inapplicable to peace officers and federal qualified law enforcement officers who have successfully completed a course of study in the use of batons. The act prohibits a licensed private patrol operator from permitting an employee to carry a baton before ascertaining that the employee is proficient in the use of the weapon, evidence of which includes a baton permit. The act establishes an initial baton permit fee of at least $60, but not to exceed $66, to be deposited in the Private Security Services Fund.This bill, commencing January 1, 2024, would revise and recast the requirements for obtaining a baton permit and carrying a baton under the act. The bill would require the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services to issue baton permits to applicants who meet specified conditions, including that a certified baton training instructor has attested under penalty of perjury that the applicant has successfully completed a baton training course. By expanding the crime of perjury, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would prohibit a licensee, a qualified manager of a licensee, or a security guard from carrying a baton in the course of their employment unless they are wearing a uniform, are carrying a valid baton permit issued by the bureau, and are carrying a valid license, qualified manager certificate, or security guard registration card. The bill would make those provisions inapplicable to a qualified law enforcement officer, as defined, who meets specified conditions. The bill would provide for the expiration of a baton permit 2 years from the date of issuance, and would specify requirements for renewing a baton permit, including payment of a renewal fee in the amount of at least $40 but not to exceed $44.Existing law requires a peace officer exempt from obtaining a firearm qualification card who applies for registration as a security guard to submit to the bureau with their application a letter of approval from their primary employer authorizing the peace officer to carry a firearm while working as a security guard or security officer. Existing law requires peace officers who work off duty as security guards or security officers to pay only specified fees otherwise applicable to registration as a security guard or security officer.This bill would require a peace officer exempt from obtaining a baton permit who applies for registration as a security guard to submit a letter of approval from their primary employer authorizing the peace officer to carry a baton while working as a security guard or security officer. The bill would add baton permit fees to the list of fees required to be paid by off-duty peace officers working as security guards or security officers. The bill would make conforming and other changes relating to baton permits and baton permitholders, including requiring disciplinary review committees to perform specified functions relating to baton permitholders. Because the bill would revise the scope of a crime under the act, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NOYES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.

Existing law requires a person licensed as a private patrol operator, as defined, to deliver to the director a written report describing the circumstances surrounding the discharge of any firearm, or physical altercation with a member of the public while on duty, by a licensee or any officer, partner, or employee of a licensee while acting within the course and scope of their employment within 7 business days after the qualifying incident, as specified.
This bill would require a person registered as a proprietary private security officer employer to deliver a written report to the director describing the circumstances surrounding the discharge of any firearm, or any physical altercation with a member of the public by a registered proprietary private security officer while on duty, in a manner similar to the above-described report required from a person licensed as a private patrol operator. duty and while acting within the course and scope of their employment within 7 business days after the qualifying incident, as specified. The bill would impose a $2,500 fine for failing to deliver that report.
(2) Existing law, the Private Security Services Act, a violation of which is a misdemeanor, provides for the licensure and regulation of private patrol operators and the registration of security guards by the Director of Consumer Affairs. The act requires a licensed private patrol operator, a qualified manager of a licensed private patrol operator, or a registered security guard who, during the course and scope of licensed activity, carries or uses a baton in the performance of their duties to possess a valid baton permit issued by a certified baton training facility in accordance with specified requirements. The act makes this provision inapplicable to peace officers and federal qualified law enforcement officers who have successfully completed a course of study in the use of batons. The act prohibits a licensed private patrol operator from permitting an employee to carry a baton before ascertaining that the employee is proficient in the use of the weapon, evidence of which includes a baton permit. The act establishes an initial baton permit fee of at least $60, but not to exceed $66, to be deposited in the Private Security Services Fund.
This bill, commencing January 1, 2024, would revise and recast the requirements for obtaining a baton permit and carrying a baton under the act. The bill would require the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services to issue baton permits to applicants who meet specified conditions, including that a certified baton training instructor has attested under penalty of perjury that the applicant has successfully completed a baton training course. By expanding the crime of perjury, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would prohibit a licensee, a qualified manager of a licensee, or a security guard from carrying a baton in the course of their employment unless they are wearing a uniform, are carrying a valid baton permit issued by the bureau, and are carrying a valid license, qualified manager certificate, or security guard registration card. The bill would make those provisions inapplicable to a qualified law enforcement officer, as defined, who meets specified conditions. The bill would provide for the expiration of a baton permit 2 years from the date of issuance, and would specify requirements for renewing a baton permit, including payment of a renewal fee in the amount of at least $40 but not to exceed $44.
Existing law requires a peace officer exempt from obtaining a firearm qualification card who applies for registration as a security guard to submit to the bureau with their application a letter of approval from their primary employer authorizing the peace officer to carry a firearm while working as a security guard or security officer. Existing law requires peace officers who work off duty as security guards or security officers to pay only specified fees otherwise applicable to registration as a security guard or security officer.
This bill would require a peace officer exempt from obtaining a baton permit who applies for registration as a security guard to submit a letter of approval from their primary employer authorizing the peace officer to carry a baton while working as a security guard or security officer. The bill would add baton permit fees to the list of fees required to be paid by off-duty peace officers working as security guards or security officers. The bill would make conforming and other changes relating to baton permits and baton permitholders, including requiring disciplinary review committees to perform specified functions relating to baton permitholders. Because the bill would revise the scope of a crime under the act, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
