Letter From the Executive Director- Launch of Four-Hour Training Curriculum

LSBPSE • August 30, 2024

To All Private Security Industry Stakeholders,

We hope this letter finds you well. We are writing to announce the launch of the Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiner's new four-hour training curriculum for security officers in accordance with the Louisiana Administrative Code (Title 46, Part LIX, §403E). Student materials have been made available under the ''Training" tab at the top of our website (www.lsbpse.com). They include a new class PowerPoint Presentation, a student handbook that includes all the course material, and a supplemental Louisiana Laws Handout that lists key legal definitions students should know prior to taking the class. Upon request to the board, Instructors will be issued a new lesson plan document, which acts as an instructor manual and provides a framework to teach this class successfully, a 50-question exam, and a 

class feedback form. Those documents will be received via a folder shared to the instructor's email. 


The intended purpose of this new curriculum is to lay the foundation for raising the quality of the education provided to the private security officers in the state of Louisiana. Our focus over the last several months has been to create a thorough educational curriculum built on the best current practices in adult education. We have relied on collaboration with various state agencies, including Louisiana State Police and POST Council, to revolutionize how we teach in this state and set the stage for rebuilding other trainings we offer using a similar format. 


We are excited to share this achievement with you. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. 


Sincerely,

Carl Saizan (Rel. LSP Major)

Executive Director

Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners

Dear Members of the Private Security Industry, Again, we would like to remind you that the guard registration renewal period opened on October 1, 2025, and will close on March 1, 2026. To assist you in meeting this deadline, there is a 14-day grace period extending through March 15, 2026. Please note that beginning March 16, 2026, fines of $50.00 per day will be assessed for up to 10 days for any unresolved renewals. We strongly encourage all companies and professionals to complete their renewals well before the absolute deadline of March 15, 2026 to avoid fines and ensure compliance. Our primary goal is to eliminate fines altogether, and we need your cooperation to achieve this. This is the final reminder concerning guard renewals. You only have the 14-day grace period starting on March 2, 2026 and ending on March 15, 2026. If you require assistance or have any questions regarding the renewal process, please do not hesitate to contact the Board at 225.272.2310 or via email at privatesecurityboard@la.gov. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your commitment to maintaining high standards within our industry. Sincerely, Major Carl Saizan (Ret. LSP) Executive Director
