The DPSST Unarmed Security Refresher Course briefly goes over key topics covered in the initial 2 day course. This course can be completed 180 days prior to the expiration of your current DPSST Unarmed certification. The course includes a lecture component as well as a 50 question closed book written examination. Students are required to score at least 85% on the written examination. We also cover new regulations and changes to DPSST policies and procedures, any updates to Oregon Revised Statutes, and Oregon Administrative Rules affecting currently certified Private Security Professionals.
Upon completion of the DPSST Unarmed Security Refresher Course, each student will be provided all required paperwork which will need to be submitted to DPSST's Private Security Division.
It is important to remember that class fees are paid directly to Defensive Firearms Instruction, which is separate from the state certification fee, which is paid to DPSST Private Security upon submitting the application. The state fee of $65.00 which needs to be made out to "DPSST Private Security", can be made payable by Money Order, DPSST Credit Card Form, Cashier's Check, or Business Check. If an individuals certification has been expired for less than 4 years, that individual would be required to submit an additional $25.00 late fee to DPSST Private Securitywith their application. If an individual has been expired for more than 4 years, that individual would be required to retake the initial 2 day DPSST Unarmed Security Course. Each student is required to submit their application prior to their expiration date, or within 180 days of the completion of the course. The DPSST Unarmed Security Certification is good for a period of two years. If the applicants Unarmed Security Certification is expired, they are not authorized to work as a Private Security Professional until their application has been submitted and they either have their physical card in hand and are listed with a company, or have received a PS-20 (temporary work permit) from their employer and a copy has been submitted to DPSST.
