Cancellation of security officer certification



The local police department of the security officer’s municipality of residence can cancel security officer certification altogether or for a fixed period if
  • on account of essential changes in circumstances, the security officer no longer meets the requirements for security officer certification laid down by law
  • the security officer has been sentenced under a legally final judgement for a crime that shows this person to be unsuitable for the job, or if such a person has intentionally acted wrongly to a significant degree as a security officer
  • the security officer has substantially violated essential conditions or restrictions in the security officer certification.
The local police department of the security officer’s municipality of residence must cancel the security officer certification if so requested by the security officer.

A commanding police officer may temporarily cancel security officer certification if the police learn of facts that are likely to lead to full cancellation of the security officer certification. If security officer certification has been cancelled or if grounds exist for temporary cancellation of security officer certification, a police officer may take possession of the security officer identity card in order to surrender it to a commanding police officer.
