A. Rule Adoptions

Ms. Anderson informed the Board that Rules 1.0 & 9.0 need to have a final vote and be signed today which will make them effective 05/01/12. There were no public comments during the open comment period.

Mrs. Shupe, with a second by Mr. Woods, made a motion to accept the final adoption of Rules 1.0 & 9.0. The motion was carried.

V. New Business

A. Professional Licensing Comments 1. Board Members

Ms. Anderson asked if Mr. Bush and Mrs. Taylor had sent in their re-appointment applications. Mr. Bush – not yet and Mrs. Taylor – yes. Mr. Woods’ second appointment is up on 05/01/12 as a Security Services Contractor and the Board would like to keep someone from the armored car industry on the Board. This presents a problem with the law requirements. Ms. Anderson will look into someone from the industry that would be eligible for discussion at the next Board meeting.

2. Licensing Issues

Ms. Anderson explained the situation in that there is a Delaware manager for a security guard agency that would like to start his own private investigative agency. In the past there have been exceptions made for a license holder/Delaware manager with an armored car agency being allowed to hold the license for a security guard agency.

Rule 9.0 (as it is numbered presently) will need to be re-worded to possibly state “… cannot be employed by more than one classification of agency at…..”.

B. Board Member’s Comments

6 Mrs. Taylor and Mr. Woods will not be attending the Hearings on Monday. All others present will be in attendance on Monday.

Mr. Woods spoke about the 90 day wait when changing weapons to qualify for all three shoots. It was determined that when changing weapons a day/lowlight shoot is qualification enough to start carrying, but must shoot another day shoot to continue being qualified.

Lt. Colonel Paige asked that Professional Licensing be in contact with the DSP Firearms section on handling practices when changing weapons. This would possibly be placed into the curriculum.

Going back to V.A. Professional Licensing Comments

Sgt. Whitmarsh spoke about the certifications for baton/mace/handcuffs in reference to Rule 3.0 and the qualifications. Professional Licensing currently does not keep copies of the training. A coding system could also be placed on the ID cards as to what they are certified to carry, as well as shotgun.

Rule 3.0 can be re-worded to require anyone wishing to carry a weapon/item they must submit their qualification certifications to Professional Licensing, along with re-certifications.

Sgt. Whitmarsh asked how the Board felt about putting a code on the ID cards to allow any officer to know if the individual is qualified to carry a weapon/item.

Ms. Anderson will mirror from the BEA Rules & Regs regarding this rule.

Mr. Woods felt the codes on the ID cards would be helpful to employers for what a prospective employee is valid to use/carry, and to the officers on the road.

C. Public Attendee’s Comments

There were no public attendee comments at this time.

D. Lt. Colonel’s Comments

Lt. Colonel Paige thanked everyone for their time today.
