Change to Compliance Agent Requirements
 

I feel that the education/experience requirments for Compliance Agent eligibility need to be broadened or allow more judgement by DCJS when it comes to "related" experience. There are many like myself who wish to attain Compliance Agent that have non Military or non Law Enforcement experience in the areas concerning Compliance Agents. Topics of records retention, record security, audit trails, complaince to codes and regulations that affect indiviuals and entities etc.. The current limitations of the wording of the code make it far too difficult for those that may have "related" or otherwise applicable experience but possibly in a corporate or Government setting that do not directly entail Security, law Enforcement etc.. I think consideration also should be given for other DCJS Licensees such as Bail Enforcement Agents. Another potential compromise would be must less restricted requirements for those wishing to be a Compliance Agent just for their own company and would be able to obtain the Compliance Agent that would restrict them to ONLY their own company.
