How to Become a Security Guard in Hawaii
2

• Hawaii has had their guard card requirements
  for less than a year. Their rules went into
  effect in June of 2013. Even now, the
  requirements to become a security guard in Hawaii
  are fairly basic.

3

• First, you must be at least 18 years old. You
  must have your high school diploma, or a GED.

4

• Youll need to be able to demonstrate that you
  have a clean bill of psychological health, a
  clean criminal record, and a good financial
  history. You will be required to submit
  fingerprints.

• Youll also need 8 hours of classroom instruction
  with a Board-approved instructor. Each year
  youll need another 4 hours of instruction if you
  want to keep your license up to date.

7

• This does not mean, of course, that you cant
  seek additional classroom training on your own to
  become a more competitive candidate.

• There are no statewide licensing requirements for
  armed guards simply because state statues
  prohibit the use of guns. Individual counties in
  Hawaii may have rules that allow for armed
  guards, and if that is the case they will set
  their own requirements. Almost all of them
  require armed guards to be at least 21 years old.

• You can fill out Hawaiis application online, but
  youll need to print it out and mail it. Theres
  no way for you to submit it to any kind of system
  or database when youre finished with it.

11

• Getting your license could cost anywhere from
  100 to 250. It depends on how much your
  employer is willing to cover. The cards are
  portable, which means you can take them from one
  employer to the next.

12

• However, you cant get your guard card initially
  until you have been offered a job by a security
  agency. This is one state where you cant really
  get an edge by getting your card ahead of time.
  In Hawaii, youll simply want to start with your
  job search. Get started now, and say Aloha to
  your new career!
