How often must a SORA-certified officer renew their certification?

A SORA-certified officer must renew their certification every two years to maintain compliance with the requirements set forth by the Security Officer Registration Act. This renewal process ensures that officers are regularly updated on changes in laws, regulations, and best practices within the security industry. The biennial renewal helps to ensure that security personnel remain knowledgeable and effective in their roles, which is vital for public safety and the professionalism of the industry. Keeping certifications up-to-date also reinforces the commitment of security professionals to their ongoing education and training, which is essential in a field that is continually evolving due to new technologies and methods in security management.
