GLOBAL SECURITY GROUP INTLWhat should I check before booking armed security license
Licensed, insured and local — professional security services in Southwest Florida, staffed by trained Global Security officers.
Quick answer: Armed security in Florida requires a Class G license: 28 hours of firearms training with 8 hours on the range (Florida Statutes 493.6105), annual requalification and employment under a licensed Class B agency. Armed posts fit cash-handling, high-value inventory and elevated-risk sites; unarmed Class D officers fit gates, lobbies and patrols.
Key Takeaways
- Class G: 28 hours firearms training, 8 on the range, annual requalification.
- Armed coverage for cash-handling and high-risk posts; unarmed for gates and retail.
- Verify both the Class G license and the current requalification date.
