Security guards are an important part of maintaining civil order, and more and more public and private groups are relying on their services. A number of resources have been created to assist those who might be interested in entering the field, and some of them may complement existing training programs quite nicely. The New York State Division of Criminal Justice’s Office of Public Safety has compiled a number of helpful forms that include guides on how to photograph crime scenes, fingerprinting suspected criminals, along with offering basic canine standards for those persons who may work with such partners. Along with these materials, the site also includes instructor materials for the fingerprinting module, and a list of approved security guard training schools.
