Lesson notes & sources
Your state entry route
Michigan's ordinary agency employee route runs through a licensed security guard agency, which maintains personnel records and files employee rosters with LARA.
Confirm your employer's required unarmed training and site induction directly. Specialist private security police roles have separate administration.
Verify the employer
Check the agency's active LARA license before joining.
Check employee eligibility
New employees must be at least 18, hold a high school diploma or equivalent, and meet statutory suitability requirements.
Supply hiring records
Provide the information needed for screening and the employer's employee roster.
Confirm site readiness
Complete employer training and review your duties, reporting process and authorized equipment.
Confirm your situation
The agency owner's experience requirements belong to the business licensing route.
Preparation courses do not themselves authorize an assignment.
Keep your sources current
