What does the department require to approve a training school operated by a private business?

The correct requirement for the approval of a training school operated by a private business is the need for a governmental letter of authority. This letter serves as a formal acknowledgment from the relevant governmental body, indicating that the school meets specific standards and regulations set forth by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Private Security Bureau.

The approval process often includes verifying that the training curriculum is aligned with state laws and meets the necessary educational requirements for individuals seeking to work within the private security industry. By requiring this letter, the department ensures that only qualified and regulated training schools can operate, helping to maintain the integrity and professionalism of the private security field in Texas.

The other options do not meet the necessary criteria set by the department and therefore would not facilitate the approval process for a training school.
