BSIS Baton Training Course

To carry a baton as a CA Security Guard, you are required to take an 8-hour BSIS Baton Training Course. Upon successful completion of the baton training that includes passing a written test, you will be able to apply for a Baton Permit through BSIS. Current baton permit holders will be required effective this year to renew their permit every two years.  Renewals will require permit holders to take this 8-hour course. **Carrying a baton without a BSIS baton permit and a valid BSIS guard card is a Felony in California.** Cost: $130. The $130 Class Fee does not include the BSIS Baton Permit fee. The cost of the BSIS Baton Permit is $60. The $60 permit fee must be paid to BSIS by the applicant after successful completion of the class. As of January 1, 2024, BSIS Baton Permits expire after two years (if the guard maintains a valid Guard Card).
