How Hard is the Unarmed Security Test? Here's What You Need to Know

In this video, we explore the difficulty level of the unarmed security test and provide insights into how to prepare for it. Sponsored by The Security Officer Network, we emphasize the importance of understanding your role as a security officer and utilizing common sense during the test.

We explain that the test focuses on observing and reporting rather than enforcement duties. Key topics include patrolling, observation techniques, incident response, and report writing, with an emphasis on understanding terms like "Standard Operating Procedures" and "Post Orders."

Detailed study is required for topics concerning emergency aid, assistance protocols, state licensing regulations, and legal matters. We offer strategic advice on tackling the test and suggest a contingency plan for those who don't pass at their first attempt.

The video concludes with four tips to prepare for the test: downloading the Unarmed Security Guide, taking a free practice test, reviewing the state's licensing handbook, and joining The Security Officer Network. The video encourages thorough learning of the material to become a genuinely professional security officer.
