Hi. This is Mike with Security Training Concepts. The answer, in short, is it depends. Please read the following: we train persons convicted of misdemeanors and felonies in the Unarmed Security job training Course. You must then apply for the Permanent Employee Registration (PERC) Card issued by the The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). IDFPR considers the background of each person who possesses one on a case-by-case basis. They make the determination, once you have been fingerprinted and applied for the PERC as to whether or not your background is so bad where it would be dangerous to the public if you from serving the public as a security officer. Persons convicted of felonies are unable to be armed security officers due to the inability to legally possess a firearm. However, there are persons convicted of felonies who are working as active unarmed security officers.
