SF 2163 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Training requirements expansion for licensed security officers

This bill expands training requirements for Minnesota's licensed security officers, specifically affecting those who carry firearms or weapons. It mandates 40 hours of initial training within 21 days of hire (including new topics like mental health crisis response and de-escalation techniques) and 24 hours of annual continuing education for all officers, with an additional 6 hours for armed personnel. The training must cover community health issues, first aid, legal use of force, and building safety threats. These changes, effective January 1, 2026, apply to all security license holders, managers, and employees in Minnesota.
