#210 - Security Undertrained? The 40-Hour Licencing Question - Steven Summerville
About this episode
The episode discusses whether 40 hours of training is sufficient for security guards to handle real-life crises.
This week on The Sentinel Mindset, we're diving into a hot-button issue: Is 40 hours of training enough to handle the real-life crises security guards face? We break down how minimal licencing requirements—like the standard 40-hour course—might leave guards underprepared, especially when facing mental health crises or violent situations. We'll peel back the layers from a business angle, too—how margins often sideline advanced training and what that means for the industry. Tune in as we ask tough questions and explore what needs to change.
