SLED SAFEGUARD SC Unarmed
Security Officer Training

All Security Officers in SC who are SLED Certified must take the minimum class “Primary Basic”. If you are going to carry a Handgun, Handcuffs, Taser, OC Pepper Spray or anything on your duty belt, you must take the “Primary Plus” class as well.

Primary Basic: A basic knowledge of what you can do as a legal SLED Certified Security Officer on the property you protect. To become an Unarmed Officer. This class is all you will need to be a basic SLED Certified Officer. Taking this class does NOT include weapons, Handcuffs, Use of Force and Authority to arrest.

Primary Plus: This class is an upgrade to certify you in many things such as Handcuffing, Use of force, Handguns, Taser, and OC Pepper Spray. This class gives you the same authority as a Sheriff’s deputy on the property you protect. YOU CANNOT take this class unless you have been to the “Primary Basic”.

**Effective March 1^st, 2025, Metrolina Investigations will teach SLED Primary Basic and Primary Plus as one course, but we will not teach handcuffing, firearms, tasers, OC spray, or batons.
