Security Officer In-Service provides job-related continuing training for registered Virginia security officers. This course supports the security-officer in-service requirement during the registration renewal cycle and provides current instruction relevant to the officer’s duties.
The course is intended for existing security officers rather than students completing their initial entry-level training. Firearms retraining and range qualification are separate requirements and are not included in 01I
4 hours of job-related instruction.
The security-officer in-service requirement applies once during each 24-month registration period. Any additional examination or practical-exercise time is separate from the minimum instructional requirement.
Written examination: The published minimum standard for in-person 01I does not specify a mandatory written final examination or a statewide passing percentage.
Range qualification: Not included. Armed officers must satisfy their separate firearms-retraining requirements.
Our focus is a strong foundation: understanding your responsibilities, asking good questions, and learning in a supportive environment.
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, your DCJS registration card or registration number, your registration expiration date, and a pen and notebook. Bring documentation of any DCJS-approved extension or other special authorization that applies to your renewal. No range equipment is needed for 01I.
Intended for existing security officers completing their in-service training requirement. It is not a substitute for 01E entry-level training. Students whose registrations have expired should confirm their renewal or reinstatement eligibility with the school and DCJS before enrolling.
Confirm your date, location, and preparation instructions with the training team before attending.
