Is this program right for you?
Are you a licensed security professional who carries and uses handcuffs? Then you must add a Restraint Endorsement to your Security Worker License. To receive this endorsement, you must complete advanced security training.
Licensed security professionals need AST. It's a prerequisite for the license endorsement to carry and use handcuffs. You must renew your AST certificates every three years.
