What Georgia law requires
Georgia leaves the decision to arm school security to the local board of education or the governing body of a private school. Under O.C.G.A. §16-11-130.1 a board may authorize personnel to carry on campus once they complete the training the statute lists: judgment-shooting, marksmanship, use of force and an annual background check. The authorization is recorded by the board and the identities of armed personnel are kept confidential.
DIS is licensed by the Georgia Board of Private Detective and Security Agencies (license PSC002808). Our armed officers hold Georgia armed security registrations, complete the statute's training and are presented to the board for authorization before they are posted.
Georgia also requires every school to maintain a school safety plan under §20-2-1185, prepared with local law enforcement and emergency management, reviewed annually and filed with GEMA/HS. DIS writes the security section of that plan with your administration and supports the drills the plan calls for.
Statutes summarized for orientation; each engagement is reviewed against current law with the school's counsel. Licensing board: Georgia Board of Private Detective and Security Agencies.
