NOTE:
As of Sept. 1st, 2005 (as amended by House Bill 1132 in
the 79th Texas Legislature) Shotgun Qualification is no
longer required as part of an "Original Commission" or
"ReQualification." If you would like to include the Shotgun as
part of your training it can be provided for an additional $25
fee. Your certificate of training will reflect that you
qualified and were proficient with a Shotgun. Your
commission card will also reflect Shotgun status which will allow
you to carry a Shotgun in performance of your duties as a
Commissioned Security Officer (provided your current company
policy(employer) does not prohibit the carry of
Shotguns.)
Students who which to qualify with their own
handgun, rather than a new Academy owned weapon, must provide
fifty(50) rounds of 9mm or 38 caliber ammunition and a quality
manufactured handgun.
No discount in the course fee will be offered for students
using their own handgun. However, you must qualify with at
least a 9mm semi-automatic or 38 caliber revolver. (as required
by Chapter 1702 of the Texas Occupations Code)
Any handgun with a smaller caliber than a 9mm or 38 will
not be accepted under State Law. If you wish to qualify with
your own Handgun prior arrangements must be
made with the Academy. Otherwise, you will be expected to
qualify with the Academy supplied 9mm. Please call us
directly to discuss qualifying with your own handgun.
State-of-the-art training is conducted in a
safe classroom environment using the latest simulators.
Hypothetical situations are acted out with the use of
safe, simulated weapons.
Actual "hands-on" training
is conducted in the classroom. For example, every student
learns the basic procedures for safely handcuffing a
subject. Including use of a cover officer (when available) and
proper double-locking procedures.
