I actually went through this process and got my K license if you end up needing requals. Live over in pace.
Congrats on the license, I gave mine up a couple years ago.
There were some G-Licensed involved shootings in south FL several years ago. During the shooting investigations, it was discovered that some K licensed individuals were fudging training records to facilitate fraudulent G licenses.
As a result, K license holders were subject to short-notice FTF inspections by the state. After my second inspection in less than a year I said screw it, not worth the hassle.
I never fell into a large group training opportunity in order to make holding the classes worth my time, maybe you can do better. Not worth it to me to do re-certifications piecemeal. Then there was this one time the G license contractors at the courthouse expected free re-certs...
I work with one company doing security and have fairly good network already of other officers in other company's so that will help.
Big reason I did this was due to a certain k instructor who'd been passing down info that was outright wrong.
I actually remember my d license instructor down in tampa telling us about that. Needless to say and I quote him, " I don't like any of yall enough to catch charges for".
After spending two years training "Guardians" (G-License Guards from a local company) for the School Resource Officer positions, of which we no longer use thank God, I prefer not to have my name associated with the mess. Those personnel were an odd-lot of individuals and several couldn't even pass the qualification course so IMO their G-License qualification to begin with is highly suspect to me.
But I'm sure SOMEWHERE out there are some squared away G-License holders, we have a Deputy and pretty good SWAT operator who defended a bar crowd during a shooting where he killed both suspects. He even has his own body camera footage from the incident.
Thanks I have gleaned more from this thread than when I went to the schoolhouse in Panama City. Everyone had a different idea on what was needed for the K!
