DePaul's Officer Training Program
Our comprehensive 16-hour program includes a 12-hour Officer Training Course
and a
4-hour Red Cross First Aid & CPR training course. This program is
designed to help you obtain the necessary certifications to become a
professional security officer with DePaul Security.

Field Notes & Report Writing
An essential part of a Security Officer's job is providing accurate, factual reports both to DePaul and the customer. During training, you'll learn how to effectively take notes and prepare your reports. Security forms and reports vary from site to site. Common types of reports include:
- • Daily & Event Occurrence
- • Weekly Summary
- • Motor Vehicle Accident
- • Visitor Access Logs
Observation Skills & Memory
Professional security officers constantly utilize their observation skills (the five senses) and memory during the performance of their duties. These skills are key to helping you identify issues, take better notes, provide thorough reports, and assist law enforcement when necessary.
-
• How the five senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, & taste) influence observation
-
• How to improve your senses with exercises
-
• What makes up a general description of a person
First Aid & CPR Training & Certification
In addition to the 12-hour officer training course, DePaul Security offers a 4-hour First Aid & CPR class. Upon completion and successful passing of the skills assessment, you will receive your Red Cross First Aid & CPR card.
DPSST Certification
DePaul Security Officers are required Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) certifications. DePaul does not cover the testing fees associated with certification. However, as part of our training course, we review the current DPSST Private Security Officer Training Manual to help you prepare for obtaining your certification.
