Requirements for becoming a security guard will vary depending on the state and area. However, it is common that prospective security guards meet the minimum age of eighteen years old, pass an FBI background check, and be a citizen of the United States before training can begin. In addition to extensive training, one might have to submit applications for admittance and obtain proper licenses. Be sure to check the requirements for your state and local region.
