2 Chapter 493 of the Florida Statutes (FS493) requires licensure before one can work as a security officer in Florida. If we extend a conditional hire offer and you already have a license, you may be able to move through our hiring process a bit faster. If you do not have a license and we decide to extend a conditional hire offer, we may assist you through the required courses and the application process for licensure.

3 Not all CIS Protection Officer positions are entry-level. We reserve the right to require you to have certain background experience before we will hire you for any position that is not entry-level. CIS Standard Operating Procedures identify minimum criteria for these positions. If you are not eligible for one of these positions, as determined by this survey, you may still be considered for another CIS Protection Officer position that does not have the same background experience requirements.
