Im a lil bit confused. Does the Private Investigator ONLY need to have a certificate issued by Dept of Consumer Affairs

OR do they have to have the certificate AND completed a POST approved course in firearms training?

It almost seems that the 1. 2. and 3. need a POST training but the Private Investigator only need his Dept of Consumer Affairs certificate?


Just curious because Im a license P.I but I have the HSC card thats going to expire. I dont want to renew if I am exempt

Does your P.I. certificate authorize you to carry a firearm? If you have the exposed firearm permit, that will cover you under X91.
