PA Armed Security Requirements

[security steve Member Find all posts View Profile Close security steve]

I am licensed as a Special Police Officer in Washington DC. I am moving to Pennsylvania soon and am wondering what the requirements are to be armed in the state.

Also, what are some good security companies to look at in the area? I am moving to Harrisburg/Hershey PA area but will travel for the right job.

When you say to be armed, are you referring to as Joe Citizen, or as a security officer? To be armed as Joe Citizen, all you have to do is simply apply for the license with the county sheriff you'll be residing. As for a security officer..etc.. you'll have to be ACT 235 certified... www.packing.org has all the information you will need.
