For continuing education schools, how long must they maintain records required by regulation?

Continuing education schools are required to maintain records for a duration of two years as per the regulations established by the Texas Department of Public Safety's Private Security Bureau. This two-year timeframe ensures that there is a sufficient period for regulatory compliance checks and allows for the review of records in case of audits or inquiries about the education provided to security personnel. Maintaining records beyond this timeframe may impose unnecessary burdens and inefficiencies on the schools, while a period shorter than two years might not provide adequate oversight and accountability. Thus, two years strikes a balance between regulatory needs and operational practicality.
