Bureau of Security and Investigative Services required certification for Licensed Baton. - The basic Monadnock Expandable Baton (MEB) course consists of a four (4) hour user level program. Basic course certification techniques include: stance, patterns of movement, grip (both one and two handed), methods of carry (both one and two handed), drawing techniques (strong hand, support hand and cross draw), blocks, Counter strikes and baton retention. This well rounded training approach provides the individual protection at three (3) specific ranges for concluding an attack. 

The first defensive range is the extended range. This range combines the full arm extension of the officers arm with the actual length of the particular baton as it is held in the strong hand. The second line of defense for stopping an attacker is at the intermediate range. As its name implies it is the area that falls between the full arm extension and within one (1) foot from the officer's chest. The third and most important range is the close in. Close in encounters pose the greatest danger to the officer's safety and survival due to the extremely tight space he / she has to effectively and appropriately maneuver a baton for self defense or subject control. 

Bureau of Security and Investigation Services (BSIS) required skills training course for security professionals. Continuing Education (AB-2880) the California Business and Professions Code Section 7583.6, subsection 2, requires that all California security companies keep a record of training certificates for all its employees. This includes the initial 40 hours of BSIS certified training  for any officer receiving  their guard card after July 1, 2004, as well as the annual 8 hours of BSIS certified continuance training that each and every officer is required to obtain as of January 1, 2005.

The California Guard Card is a personal license which is the responsibility of the individual to keep within compliance while working in the field of physical security services. Any officer whom is not within compliance may face fine or suspension of their Guard Card if a State auditor/investigator were to review company records or request proof from the individual officer. Furthermore a fine will be placed on the company for each employee not up to date on their continuing education.

If you have received your guard card this year, or have not completed your 32 hours when you originally received your guard card, you must complete thirty two (32) hours of continuing education. If you have received your guard card prior to Jan. 2017 you must complete eight (8) hours of continuing education if you have already completed your 32 hours of training. Every officer is obligated to complete this training requirement and no one is exempt per BSIS regulation. We provide this training to make sure your compliant.

PATH - Practical and Tactical Handcuffing - Since before the 1960’s officers have experimented with different handcuffing techniques. Unfortunately death and injuries to officers was the result.

With (PATH) Practical and Tactical Handcuffing, Spartan Security Services provides a safe and effective training method of detaining or arresting a subject or subjects in a manner that is fast and effective reducing the possibility of injury to all involved.

OCAT - Oleoresin Capsicum Aerosol Training, better known as Pepper Spray is an aerosol spray used for self-defense and personal protection. Pepper Spray is a self defense spray that consists of a concentrated agent injected into a pressurized canister and dispersed, or sprayed, by aerosol. The concentrated or active agent is Oleoresin Capsicum. Oleoresin Capsicum is a derivative of various hot pepper plants and is the chemical that gives peppers their hot quality. For this reason defense sprays are often called pepper sprays. Also, Oleoresin Capsicum is known as “OC” for short. That is why pepper spray is commonly referred to as OC pepper spray.
