The security officers at Sidwell Friends are not armed. Is this some hair splitting - they don't carry guns, but have a vault on campus full of them? Odd - the requirements for a DC SPO license: District of Columbia Special Police Officer Firearms Training (DC SPO Training) The Sirius firearms instructor will use his/her expertise in evaluating each security officer's progress in comprehending and applying the material and concepts discussed in class. Depending on the expertise of the attending security officers, some fluctuation in the actual time covered for each subject is to be expected, but under no circumstances will the instructor provide less than 40 hours of training. It is very important to note, in instances where security officers are not adequately mastering the subject matter or are presenting a disruption to the class by repeated lateness, absences, or disrespectful behavior, such as talking or sleeping while the instructor is teaching that such behavior is an indication that the security officer is not suitable for holding a position as an armed security officer.
