The qualification file, and your right to see it

An armed officer in Louisiana completes the full unarmed training first, then firearms classroom instruction and a live range qualification before working a single armed post. After that comes annual retraining: a 50-question written test and an 80% marksmanship standard on a board-approved silhouette course.

Every one of those is a dated document. Ask to see the most recent requalification record for the specific officer assigned to you, not a company policy statement, the record. If a company cannot produce it inside a day, the record is either missing or expired, and both are your problem after an incident.

We keep certifications in the officer's file with expiry alerts, and an officer whose requalification has lapsed comes off armed posts that day.

What armed coverage does not buy you

An armed officer is not a police officer and Louisiana is explicit about the difference. No “Police” wording on a uniform or vehicle, no SP or SO badges, no red or blue lights. Crowd control on a public right-of-way is a law-enforcement function. An armed officer's authority stops at the property line, and any company that blurs that is telling you what else it blurs.

The value is deterrence that is visible before anything happens, and a trained, documented response if it does. Our default posture is de-escalation first, and our use-of-force policy is written into the post orders you sign, so you know exactly what will and will not happen on your property.

Insurance is different for an armed post

Louisiana requires a licensed security company to carry general liability that covers firearms specifically, along with hiring, training and retention, errors and omissions, and care, custody and control. The statutory floor is $500,000, and most property managers and general contractors require a $1M certificate naming their entity.

Ask for the certificate before the first armed shift, not after. Ask that it name your entity rather than being a generic copy. And read whether firearms are covered, the exclusion is not always obvious, and finding out afterwards is the expensive way.

Every post we staff runs the same four steps underneath, site walk, written post orders, a supervised first shift, then verified reporting and a weekly review you can cancel out of. Read how we run a post.
