Who is required to complete a psychological evaluation?

The requirement to complete a psychological evaluation specifically applies to individuals applying for the Armed Security Guard License. This measure ensures that those who will be carrying a firearm are mentally fit to handle the responsibilities and potential stresses associated with armed security work. The psychological evaluation assesses factors such as mental stability, judgment, and the ability to respond appropriately in high-stress situations.

This requirement aligns with the increased risks associated with armed security duties compared to unarmed positions, where such evaluations may not necessarily be mandated. The focus on mental fitness is crucial in maintaining safety and accountability in armed security roles.
