| Continuing Education Units (CEUs) |
The Chairman of the Arkansas Board of Private Investigators and Private Security Agencies presented the licensing board with requiring CEUs for alarm managers, technicians and agents during the January meeting. The suggested requirement would be 8 hours per year, or 16 hours per two-year renewal cycle. They would also allow many of the manufacturer's courses that are easily attained at local distributors. The licensing board would now like your input. Please email us and let us know if you are for or against required CEUs. |
