Training Standards
 

DCJS must understand that the electronic security industry is faced with a constantly changing technological environment and any class we devise will be out of date in a few months.  To meet the requirements of DCJS regarding lesson plans and detailed program documentation, equivalent to academic instruction, is not possible for the electronic security company and not economically feasible for the training school.  Training schools must operate revenue and profit driven programs, and they simply cannot rewrite every class for electronic security twice or more times a year just to maintain relevancy, and if they are not relevant, students will not come. 

We must be allowed flexibility in training and in documentation if DCJS approved training is ever to be pertinent, realistic, and valuable.
