HONOLULU – As a Monday deadline for security guard registration draws close, the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) will open this weekend to receive applications.

Several trainers have also provided their time to hold the required training classes over the weekend. Applicants needing to take the courses can email and visit the websites provided on the attached training schedule.

For those attending the training at the Capitol, entrance must be made from the Miller Street lower entrance.

Fieldprint Hawaii will provide appointments this weekend to allow applicants the chance to get their required FBI criminal background checks.
