So You Wanna Be Oklahoma's Newest Superhero? (Security Guard License Edition)
Let's face it, Oklahoma can be a wild west sometimes. Armadillos causing traffic jams, rogue tumbleweeds taking out storefront windows...it's enough to make anyone want to strap on a utility belt (or at least a high-vis vest) and become a security guard. But hold your horses, there, partner! Before you start chasing rogue tumbleweeds (though that might be a service to society), you gotta get yourself a proper security guard license.
Step 1: You Ain't No Dusty Revolver - You Gotta Get Trained
Yep, there's more to being a security guard than looking official. You'll need to complete some state-approved training courses. Think of it like cramming for your superhero origin story – learning about legal stuff, emergency procedures, and how to diffuse tense situations with the charm of Captain America (or at least not make them worse like the Hulk).
Unarmed Security Guard: This is your basic hero training. You'll tackle a 40-hour course that'll teach you the ropes.
Armed Security Guard: Wanna pack some heat? You'll need an additional 32 hours of training on top of the basic course, because with great responsibility to pack heat comes great responsibility to use it wisely.
Step 2: Background Check - Are You More Maverick or McGruff?
Tip: Write down what you learned.
The good guys gotta be good, so Oklahoma will do a background check to make sure you're not some secret villain in disguise. Think of it as a truth serum test, minus the icky glowing eyes.

Step 3: Suit Up! Apply for Your License
Once you're trained and squeaky clean, it's time to submit your application to the Oklahoma Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET) – basically, security guard HQ. Get ready to fill out some forms, get fingerprinted (it's not as dramatic as in the movies, promise), and pay a fee (because even superheroes gotta pay the bills).
Step 4: Patience, Grasshopper… (Unless There's a Tumbleweed Emergency!)
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
CLEET will review your application, and if all goes well, you'll be sporting your official security guard license in no time. Now you can finally patrol the streets, strike fear into the hearts of…well, maybe not fear, but a healthy respect for the law.
Important Note: As of now, security guard licenses in Oklahoma are good for three years. Don't forget to renew it before your powers, uh, I mean, license, expires!
