Penal
Code of California
12002(b) Nothing in this chapter
prohibits a uniformed security guard, regularly employed
and compensated by a person engaged in any lawful
business, while actually employed and engaged in protecting
and preserving property or life within the scope oh
his/her employment, from carrying any wooden club
or baton if the uniformed security guard has satisfactorily
completed a course of instruction certified by the
Department of Consumer Affairs in the carrying and
use of the club or baton. The training institution
certified by the Department of Consumer Affairs to
present this course, whether public or private, is
authorized to charge a fee covering the cost of the
training.
Translation: if you wish to carry
a baton as a security guard, regardless if you’re
working for a contract company or as a Proprietary
Security Officer (also known as “in-house or
directly employed by the entity utilizing your services).
You must obtain BOTH a Guard Registration Card AND
a Baton Permit.
The Bureau of Security & Investigative Services
issues only a generic Baton Permit. It no longer identifies
which type of baton a security officer was trained
in. However the mission of identifying a specific
baton does not preclude liability in a criminal or
civil court when one’s training is brought to
question.
Sintex Security Services Inc. and
its Contractors teach the Straight & Straight
Collapsible Baton (known as the ASP) during regularly
scheduled classes.
NOTE:
Possession of a baton without a permit is
a felony under P.C. 12020. Additionally, if carried
on duty without a permit, BSIS imposes a $100.00 fine
for the first offense. Bring a belt to class.
