About this exam
The South Carolina SLED Security Officer Training Examination is associated with the training and registration pathway for people seeking to work as security officers in South Carolina. It assesses understanding of core duties and legal limits rather than ranking applicants for a general academic program. Requirements can depend on the type of security work and current SLED rules, so candidates should confirm whether their role requires training, an examination, or additional registration steps with SLED and their training provider.
Preparation should focus on the responsibilities and limits of a security officer, including professional conduct, authority to detain or arrest, and appropriate use of force and de-escalation. Candidates should also review observation skills and how to recognize and report suspicious activity. The exact exam format and covered material may depend on current requirements and the approved training process; do not assume every provider uses the same test. Use the current SLED guidance and course materials as the basis for your study plan.
