Personal Protection Officer
Police Officers:
The question was asked whether full-time peace officers must be licensed by the department in order to accept extra-employment as Personal Protection Officers. The department is of the opinion that peace officers who meet the conditions of Section 1702.322, and who are, therefore, exempt from the licensing requirements of the statute, do not need to be licensed in order to perform the services of a Personal Protection Officer.
Under certain circumstances, Section 1702.322 exempts full-time peace officers from the Act. Of specific relevance to this question is the condition that the peace officers perform services as “a patrolman, guard, extra job coordinator, or watchman ….” §1702.322(1) (emphasis added). An individual performs the services of a “guard” when he or she is employed to (among other things) “protect an individual from bodily harm including through the use of a personal protection officer.” §1702.108(4) (emphasis added). Thus, the provision of personal protection services by a full-time peace officer is within the scope of Section 1702.322’s exemption.

At Oscar Mike Security LLC, risk assessment is a foundational element that enhances the effectiveness of our Security Guards and Personal Protection Officers (PPOs). By thoroughly evaluating potential threats and vulnerabilities, we empower our security personnel to perform their duties with greater precision and confidence.
For Security Guards:
Site Safety Evaluation:
Risk assessments help identify specific security vulnerabilities at a physical location, such as access points, escape routes, and high-risk zones. This information guides guards in monitoring and controlling key areas effectively.
Tailored Security Protocols:
Based on the assessment, security guards implement customized procedures appropriate for the environment. For example, increased patrols in high-risk areas or enhanced perimeter security.
Real-Time Threat Identification:
Knowledge of potential threats allows guards to be more vigilant and proactive. They can quickly recognize suspicious activity and respond appropriately, minimizing risks.
For Personal Protection Officers (PPOs):
Threat Profiling:
Risk assessments help PPOs understand specific threats faced by their clients, such as targeted attacks or environmental hazards. This enables the development of personalized security plans.
Route and Venue Planning:
Using assessment data, PPOs plan safe routes, secure locations, and emergency exit strategies, reducing exposure to danger.
Situational Awareness & Response:
PPOs are trained to identify warning signs and potential threats based on assessment insights. This proactive approach allows for swift intervention, ensuring client safety at all times.
