Who must comply with the board's continuing education requirements?

The board's continuing education requirements apply to license holders and endorsement holders because these individuals are directly involved in the private security industry and hold specific licenses that are regulated by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Private Security Bureau. Continuing education is essential for these individuals to stay updated on laws, regulations, and best practices related to private security, which can evolve over time.

Maintaining current knowledge ensures that license holders and endorsement holders can perform their duties effectively and in compliance with state regulations. This requirement helps ensure a standard of professionalism and competence across the industry, ultimately aiming to enhance public safety and trust in private security services.

While other groups, such as peace officers or security company owners, may have their own training or educational requirements, the specific compliance obligation for continuing education as set by the board directly addresses those who are actively licensed and endorse those practices in the security sector.
