recommended code changes
 

I think the following should apply to electronic security and locksmiths.  These are the only two catagories represented on the PSSAB that have a service and a product.  The products are constantly changing and are becoming increasingly hi tech.  These changes are not something that can be learned through DCJS in a two hour course. 

1.  Entry level apprenticeships are badly needed carry on our career fields.

2.  Compliance agents should be allowed to serve as agents for more than one entity.

3.  Grant an exemption to companies to utilize a temporary agency's services as long as the temporary employee is fingerprinted and trained according to DCJS requirements.

4.  Make training standards the same for all electronic security and locksmith catagories.

5.  Allow businesses to train their own employees without being a certified training school nor a certified training instructor.  Records of training should be kept up to date by the compliance agent and forwarded to DCJS.
