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 Industry Partner, We respectfully urge your immediate support for HB 71, filed by Rep. Josh Carlson (District 43, Lafayette Parish), at the request of the LSBPSE, which extends existing civil liability protections for concealed carry permit holders to armed private contract security officers registered with the LSBPSE. The bill passed by the Civil Law & Procedures Committee on Monday, April 13, and is headed to the House floor for a vote within days. Private security officers face real and increasing risks, while insurance costs continue to rise and coverage becomes more difficult to obtain. At the same time, LSBPSE is strengthening the industry through enhanced training standards, continuing education requirements, compliance audits, and increased enforcement partnerships with state agencies, ensuring all personnel are properly trained, vetted, and held accountable. HB 71 supports current efforts by offering reasonable civil liability protection for security guards who act lawfully and within the scope of their duties to protect human life. It does not protect against misconduct; rather, it aligns the protections for trained security professionals with those already provided to private citizens, bringing much-needed legal clarity. Additionally, insurance providers may consider reducing your general liability insurance premiums once this bill becomes law. Your voice is critical right now. Please contact your State Representative and Senator as soon as possible and urge them to support HB 71! Your immediate outreach can make a difference in protecting your business, supporting the industry, and strengthening public safety across Louisiana. Thank you for your commitment to our common goals and continued partnership. Major Carl Saizan (Ret. LSP)  Executive Director
