It actually does make sense, a tougher course of fire SHOULD be good enough but rarely have I seen many things lately that make sense.
I reconfirmed with DPS that short CHL classes are not authorized. A combined Level III and CHL class would be okay, but only if the applicants received the full 10 hrs. of CHL, so there would be no advantage unless you get a discount.

Be careful folks.

Now before anybody says anything, this particular establishment has permission from TXDPS to offer this for people who take & pass their Level 3 Security Officer class. That class is 30 hours & the range quals are a little tougher than the CHL quals. I did have to take the same CHL test as everybody else. :txflag:
I just confirmed with a DPS Captain that no such approval has been granted to any company to combine any Security Officer training with a CHL course, or to give any credit towards a CHL.

Please identify this establishment. DPS cannot and will not deviate from the requirements of the Government Code for obtaining a CHL. There are some persons exempt from certain portions of the training requirements, but I know of none that would be as you described. I would love to be wrong, so please let us know who did the training and cite the Code authorizing this deviation.

Thanks,
Chas.
