What must you show to law enforcement if requested while on duty?

When on duty, it is essential to present your firearms permit and guard card registration to law enforcement upon request. This is because these documents validate your legal authority to carry and use a firearm as part of your security responsibilities. The firearms permit ensures that you have received the necessary training and have met the legal requirements to possess a firearm. The guard card registration indicates that you are a licensed security professional authorized to operate in your designated capacity.

Being able to show both documents establishes your compliance with the law and reassures law enforcement of your legitimacy in performing your duties. In situations where your authority is questioned, having these specific documents readily available can facilitate a smoother interaction and potentially avoid misunderstandings.

While personal identification is important in a variety of contexts, the combination of your firearms permit and guard card registration specifically pertains to your role and responsibilities as a security professional.
