Guards, improve your capability (and marketability) with OC Pepper Spray Certification

The more credentials you have, the better it is when you seek your next guard job. The number one credential in most people's mind, of course, is the BSIS firearms permit. That's pretty obvious and you actually increase your hourly pay with that permit. Number two on the list would be the BSIS baton credential, and many agencies are looking for guards with that credential.

One sometimes overlooked carry is OC pepper spray. It helps your job. There are levels of force that's necessary in this job at levels much less than when deadly force is involved, and even less than with the use of the baton. There's a lot of legality involved in this, and you need training. You can't just go out and carry OC pepper spray without the training and credential. Please know this.

However, it's not difficult to get that credential. There are several training companies that offer the training and can offer you the credential. The cost is reasonable and is often less than $100. Be sure to make sure that the training facility is certified for teaching OC pepper spray.
