Regulation 21 Training Available at Milites Dei Academy

Regulation 21 training

In the ever-evolving world of private security, staying compliant with legal requirements and maintaining up-to-date skills is critical. One such legal requirement in South Africa is Regulation 21 training—a vital component for any security officer who is issued a firearm through a company. At Milites Dei Academy, Regulation 21 training is not just a checkbox; it’s a cornerstone of professional excellence and responsibility.

What Is Regulation 21 Training?

Regulation 21, as outlined in the Firearms Control Act, requires that any security officer who carries a firearm as part of their duties must undergo refresher training once every 12 months. This ensures that personnel remain competent in firearm handling, safety, and legal awareness.

The training is compulsory for armed security personnel working through a company and is monitored closely by industry regulators to uphold safety standards.

Why Is Regulation 21 Important?

  • Legal Compliance: Failure to complete Regulation 21 annually can result in a security officer being disqualified from carrying a firearm legally.

  • Safety Assurance: Regular refresher training ensures officers continue to handle weapons safely and effectively.

  • Employer Requirements: Most reputable security firms demand up-to-date Regulation 21 certification to retain or hire armed staff.
