History

An individual who applies to be an associate or a security guard must meet certain requirements, such as age and residency, to receive a registration certificate.

The applicant may receive a registration certificate so long as the applicant has not been adjudicated as mentally incompetent, found to constitute a danger to self or others, found incompetent or found guilty except insane and has met all other requirements (A.R.S. § 32-2625).
