June 1 2025 BIG Stuff from NC PPSB – ARMED Books

June 1, 2025 by Dean Wiley (Updated 06.03 – “New” Slideshow, and Books TOO! see below)

BIG Stuff Number One – Basic Training Change

06/16/25 UPDATE!! “No Changes!!” (Until there are – read on)

After seeing nothing (published) and hearing nothing (from the Rules Review Commission (RRC) in their “Issues” [twice monthly status updates] or the PPSB) I “reached out” to Director Sherwin and asked for a status update.

Here’s his reply (email) received 1:16PM 06.16.25:

Dean,

The rules amendments are hung up at the Rules Review Commission, pending a legal review. I’m not sure how long final approval will take, so for now, you can keep doing what you’ve always been doing.

Thanks,

Paul Sherwin

Here’s the “catch”: the RRC is not “supposed to” do this kind of thing without “publishing it” in writing in the “Issues.” But, “they did.” And, there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Also and Finally: if Director Sherwin “nudging” them makes them realize their “mishap” (that assuredly is someone else’s ‘fault’) they will “instantly publish” the rules change and we’re all just “supposed to” know it somehow (click refresh OFTEN on the ‘published administrative code page’ below).

OK, “for now”: “as you were!”

Original 06/01/25 Post

TODAY is the day. The new code (14B NCAC 16 .0707 TRAINING REQUIREMENTS FOR UNARMED SECURITY GUARDS – though not published yet**) is “in effect.” The important part: Un-Armed (Basic – No Guns) Security Officers MUST have their “First Four Hours” of the “Sixteen Hours (Minimum)” class (“course”) BEFORE they can ‘perform duties’ on a site.
** The “recorder” or “registrar” publishes when they publish. The PPSB (DPS) is under NO obligation to keep the notices up after ‘the dates.’ Can the government really “set you up for failure that way” (*not* publish laws/rules yet hold you accountable for them)? YES.
** 14B NCAC 16 (index page): https://tinyurl.com/2whj8wn2
** ‘Our’ archive of the notice: Notice of Text for 14B NCAC 16 .0701, .0707, .0801, .1203, .1301, .1307, .1401, .1501, .1502

This training MUST be performed by a “Certified Trainer” and the officers MUST have that certificate with them if on the site. (Electronic copies downloaded in phones so no internet required is currently being accepted – again without ‘published (public) written notice’.)

BIG Stuff Number Two – Rates are going UP

see Above “Number One.” Because of life in general, “no inflation,” and myriad other reasons:
– The full NC PPS[B] “Un-Armed Guard Training” is going up to $200 per person from $175. The “2 person minimum” will remain (we had “discussed” with some regular customers going up to 3 or even 4 people as ‘a minimum’).
– The “First Four” is going up to $150 per person with a “2 person minimum” (from $100).*
– We still have not had meetings or discussions to figure out: (1) should we even offer “The Last Twelve Hours” (due within 30 days of hire); and (2) if yes to (1) what should we charge?*
* The “per day” classroom costs (rent) are “per day” so it doesn’t matter if we use it for 4, 6, 8, or 23-1/2 hours.

BIG Stuff Number Three – ARMED BOOKS!!! FOR FREE*

For a few years now I have said: “There’s no excuse (any more). Everything – other than the Armed Training – that the PPSB (DOJ and DPS editions) has assembled for “Training” over 40 (50 as of 2024) years is FREE* at their website!”

Now: “There’s no excuse AT ALL” for security guards, licensees, registrants, certificate holders, any body else ‘Under 74C'” to claim that “they didn’t get [some training that may or may not be available to ‘us’]”. IT IS** all there, free!
** https://tinyurl.com/bdhdefj3 (Training Page – PPSB – DPS)
** …IT WILL BE there (above). When I saw the announcement in the “Meeting Hotsheet” but no books at the page: I emailed and they sent me the Word Docs! (edit-able Word docs, no “Locked PDF nonsense” this time). As expected, “other” government employees (web peoples) put the PPSB’s foot in the PPSB’s mouth and “just didn’t get it done.”

Without any further TO-DO (and thanks to Paul S. and Karen B.) here are…

“The Student Manual (Handgun and Shotgun)”

MS Word format: Firearms Student Manual
Adobe PDF format: Firearms Student Manual

“The Train-The-Trainer (32-Hour class) Manual”

MS (old) Word format: NFT Instructor Manual
Adobe PDF format: NFT Instructor Manual

** In PPS ‘we’ (TRAINERS!!!) are “trainers” not “instructors.”

(June 3 update) Received in email and *now* available at the Training (Certification) page[s]: The “New” Slideshow (That still contains OLD ERRORS 😉 )
PPS New Firearms PP 20HR (right-click and choose Save Target As to “download” on a computer)

(June 3 update part 2: LOL) “New” Instructor and Student Manuals that only “Cancel Culture” Chad Thompson, Ray Bullard, and the North Carolina Justice Academy (it’s as if they never existed). It’s “OK” guys, “we got you!” As long (or as short, Dean really is sick and tired of this ‘fire that we stand next to’) as this web-site stays up the “Archives” are here.

Here they are in Microsoft Word format (as they were received in email, we ‘may’ Save As…PDF later):
Student: New Firearms Student Manual
Instructor (“Show slide X now…” the only difference): New Firearms Instructor Manual

===

Well, that’s it. Happy June 2025. I *WILL* (or will not) put up EDITs of these books to remove the “instructor crud” and SO MUCH MORE CRUD (like calling people “subject,” that absolute IDIOCY/INSANITY about “warning shots,” and weapons, weapon, weapon!!).

 

Efforts RE (now against) PPSB 2024 UAGT Notification

( By Dean Wiley March 16, 2024 – updated March 17 12:15AM )

Too Long Didn’t Read version

The Private Protective Services Board (PPSB) is “Proposing a change” to the Administrative Code that will require (exactly) FIVE DAYS notice “to the Director” before a “Unarmed Guard Class.”

The “Public Comment Period” about this change ends on April 11, 2024. Any one that has “thoughts” about this one way or the other should:

Send an email to PPSB Director Paul Sherwin as follows:
TO: paul.sherwin@ncdps.gov
SUBJECT: Proposed Changes to 0707
BODY:
I am [for or against] the proposed change to “notification for in person classes”.
[any other information or reasoning]
Signed:
Your Name (real names only please)
[ If you are a ‘regulated by PPSB person’ and want to give them that information, add it to your ‘signature block’ ]

Original Long Version Below (with a few ‘updates’)

As soon as the NCDOJ’s CJS Division got “shut down” about “pre-delivery reports” of notification of when and where classes were to be held: The North Carolina Private Protective Services Board (PPSB) decides to take a stab at it (in the back, in the dark, illegally ‘masked’ in a lie about terminology clarification).

see: http://imfscorp.com/july-2023-efforts-against-nc-cch-proposed-changes/

Here’s the “Proposed Rule Change” to Administrative Code 14B NCAC 16 (Rule) .0707 Training Requirements for Unarmed Security Guards Notice of Text and Public Hearing 14B NCAC 16.0707 (retrieved 03.16.2024 7:45A unchanged from original Jan? upload).

The “Public Comment Period” ends April 11, 2024

The “notice” (above) says that a Public Hearing was to be held February 20, 2024 at 2:00PM. This, too, is “in error” in violation of NC General Statute [§] 150B. The hearing can not be held two months before the close of “Public Comment”.

Here is my latest and last written “comment and objection” to the PPSB acknowledged by Director Paul Sherwin as “received”: 2024_0307_PPSB_150B_Comment_0707_ProposedChanges
( Word docx format if you want to modify it and submit it yourself: 2024_0307_PPSB_150B_Comment_0707_ProposedChanges )

TO: All Trainers; All Licensees; All potential “PPSB Regulated” people, especially those that “may” one day want to become a Certified Trainer

Send in your comments – IN WRITING! – and/or send in a WRITTEN DEMAND to be heard “by voice” before or during the April PPSB “meetings” (law/rules committee or full). If you don’t: you won’t have “legs to stand on” (exhaust the administrative process) after they “sneak” this five day (exactly) notification requirement through for your 16-Hour Basic or “Unarmed” courses.

= = =

( More ‘history’ and details from emails later )

Question: Why ‘fight’ this when you have always sent “Pre- and Post- Delivery (Notification) Reports” for your Armed Courses?

Answers:

  • Notification was required for ‘gun’ classes when I signed up to be a Firearms Trainer. I “went into it” fully knowing.
  • Notification has never been required for Basic or UnArmed classes/courses.
  • Notification for Basic classes/courses has never been discussed as an “unofficial” idea seeking public – including in-industry “private people and business effected in a burdensome way” – input.
  • The Board (members that are also ‘committee members’ of CJS Division) seeks to “intrude and interfere” in Private Commerce for (I truly believe) utterly immoral, illegal, unlawful, and/or “just stupid” reasons**.
    ** Licensee Board members “stealing” names of Trainers and other Licensees and/or Companies’ employees and other “industrial espionage”. Government intrusion and interference (tyranny) for “the sake of it; because we can.” Stupid = (as stated in my Comment and Objection letter above) The inclusion of “in-person” class notification may be a “typo.”
  • The Board is not now – and never will be – “invited or allowed” to “audit” my/our classes because my/our classes adhere to the letters of the law and code and ‘use’ their materials – with much more time spent pointing out “flaws” (dangerous mis-informations/mistakes, nonsense, typos, impractical/unrealistic “guidance”, misstatements of law [see power of arrest, assistance to LE, stricken 1989]) that all of the Board (many years, members and staff) don’t seem to notice or care about. My/our classes are delivered from a “We have to know this stuff because the Board will ‘quiz’ us on it” but “We have to be able to use the time to also ‘teach’ some real-world practical PRIVATE business realities” not from a “Good enough for government work as a government ‘instructor'” mentality.
  • The Board “may not” intrude upon “private business” in some misguided idea of “surprise audits”. (See NCCCH “nipped in the bud” above) I “pay for” the seats in my classes (room rent, sometimes per seat/person), and the Government CAN NOT “just show up” and cost me/us extra money. Even if they “could” – We would require them to PAY for their ‘seat’ in the class and sign a “personal” (not government agency” GUARANTEE that they won’t use the “real, correct information” received in our class to “fix” the above “errors” in their materials and/or “improve their position or pay or status at the PPSB as an employee without crediting and paying appropriate contract fees and royalties.” We already do – and always have – PAID (for) THEM to make this mess. They are not going to “steal” in the name of “audit” a way to “look less incompetent and apathetic.”

( Again, more later, I have to go to a Train-The-Trainer ‘meeting’ for UAGTs. 8:19AM 3.16.2024 )
