Lesson notes & sources
Your state entry route
A guard working for a security agency needs an employee license before employment under RSA 106-F. The employee application identifies the hiring agency.
An ordinary unarmed course duration was not verified. Confirm initial and continuing-training requirements with State Police and the employer before booking a course.
Confirm your employment category
Agency guards use the employee route. Direct unarmed in-house employees have a statutory exclusion with defined conditions.
Complete the employee application
Provide the agency details, personal information, disclosures, and required background-check materials.
Obtain approval
Coordinate with the employer and State Police before starting regulated duties; carry the issued identification.
Finish site training
Agree initial instruction, post orders, and any continuing training with your employer.
Confirm your situation
Independent operators and armed guards have additional requirements.
General career preparation is supplementary.
Keep your sources current
These sources were checked on 2026-09-16. Ask the named authority and employer to confirm the remaining local requirements.
The Get Licensed foundations course is supplementary preparation. Follow the required approved training and authorisation process for your location.
