CR is offering this training to meet California’s need for trained security officers. Security guard training provides employment opportunities for conducting security patrols, access controls, traffic and parking controls, law and order duties, as well as security and fire safety surveillance. Trained security guards work in a variety of venues to include the federal government, private businesses, schools, casinos, and hospitals.
“This course will educate prospective security officers in the latest protocols and techniques to keep staff, property and other valuables safe,” stated instructor Kistler. “This is an opportunity for those interested in working in the field of security to pursue a rewarding career.”
The cost of the course is $595 and scholarships may be available for those eligible. For information about CR’s Security Guard training, please call 707-476-4500 or visit
