instructor types and transfer info
Helping guards grown their skills all across Hawaii
There are two S4S Instructors: Independent & Proprietary
Independent Instructors under "Solutions-4-Security" are certified professionals authorized to operate as third-party vendors, providing security guard training statewide in Hawaii. They have completed an "instructor trainer" course covering the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR), industry best practices, and effective instructional methods. Annual recertification is required to maintain certification. Although affiliated with Solutions-4-Security, these instructors independently manage their operations, including compensation and training practices.
Proprietary Instructors under "Solutions-4-Security" are certified professionals who provide security guard training exclusively for personnel within their own agency, organization, or firm. Unlike independent instructors, they are not permitted to teach independently for compensation. These instructors have completed an "instructor trainer" course covering the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR), industry best practices, and effective instructional methods. Annual recertification is required to maintain certification. While affiliated with Solutions-4-Security, proprietary instructors manage training within their organization according to internal protocols.
Note: In copyright law, the Act 208 curriculum materials provided by Solutions-4-Security are like a library book—you cannot make copies for others. This rule also applies to software on your computer. If a company sends and pays for training for two individuals, they own two copies of the training materials.
If you were trained and worked for an agency that purchased the Solutions-4-Security curriculum and later joined another agency with the same license, your instructor certification can be transferred. However, each license allows only one instructor to use the curriculum at a time, similar to software or a library book that only one person can use at once. You must notify Solutions-4-Security of this transfer so we can inform the DCCA Board of Private Detectives and Guards and your new agency about the limited usage rights.
