Considering a career as a Security Officer? Space is still available in the non-credit Security Officer Training: Guard Card Certification course at Three Rivers Community College. The eight-hour course is required by the state of Connecticut for employment as a security officer and costs only $125. This course is conveniently offered in four two-hour classes that run Wednesdays from 6:00-8:00 pm beginning on 11/6 and ending on 11/27.

Students learn a brief history of security, basic criminal justice, use of force, search and seizure, public safety, emergency response and more. Students will take the state certification exam.
