Orlando, FL – May 7, 2025 – Alpha Security Academy, one of Florida’s most trusted names in security training and certification, is proud to announce the release of its new guide for individuals seeking to obtain a security guard license under the updated 2025 state regulations.

With new statewide changes now in effect, the process of becoming a licensed security officer in Florida has evolved. Alpha Security Academy has responded to these updates by launching a detailed, easy-to-follow guide to help aspiring security professionals navigate the revised steps, meet updated compliance standards, and successfully launch their careers.

Understanding the 2025 Licensing Regulation Updates
The 2025 security guard regulations, implemented by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), include enhanced eligibility requirements, updated training hour mandates, and the digitization of the application process. These changes are designed to improve safety standards and ensure that security officers are fully equipped for today’s professional security landscape.

Alpha Security Academy’s new guide breaks down the process into actionable steps, providing applicants with a clear understanding of what is now required:

Completion of the Class D License Course (40 Hours):
All applicants must complete a 40-hour Class D Security Officer training course approved by the state. Alpha Security Academy offers this training at its Orlando campus, providing hands-on instruction, professional mentorship, and flexible scheduling options including weekday, weekend, and evening classes.

Digital Licensing Process:
Applications for the Class D license must now be submitted electronically through the FDACS online portal. This includes digital ID submission, proof of completed training, and fingerprinting for a criminal background check.

Comprehensive Background Checks:
The 2025 updates include expanded federal and state background screening to ensure that all licensed officers meet current ethical and legal standards. Alpha Security Academy helps students prepare the necessary documentation and offers guidance on navigating these security checks.

Continuing Education Requirements:
To maintain an active Class D license, security guards must now complete annual continuing education. Alpha Security Academy offers refresher and renewal courses to help guards stay compliant year after year.
