Security Guard Training

In Arizona, you must be registered with the Arizona Department of Public Safety if you work for a security guard agency providing security guard services to other businesses. Until you receive registration by AZDPS, you cannot wear a uniform or work as a security guard. Licenses and registrations from other states are not recognized in Arizona.
