Florida Class D practice test

Who licenses security officers in Florida, what the Class D and Class G licenses allow, how long they last, and the conduct that gets a license disciplined under Chapter 493.

Florida's justifiable-use-of-force law (Chapter 776), the difference between defending people and defending property, what a private citizen may and may not do about arrests, and how trespass warnings work.

Post orders, patrol techniques, access control, key and visitor control, observation skills, and the preventive purpose of a uniformed presence.

Medical emergencies and the Good Samaritan Act, severe weather, bomb threats, active-threat response, and recognizing pre-attack indicators of terrorism.

Field notes, incident reports that hold up months later, evidence handling, and how to testify credibly when a report becomes a court case.

Confidentiality, gratuities, honesty in reporting, respecting the limits of the role, and the standards Chapter 493 enforces through discipline.

Fire classes and extinguishers, PASS and RACE, alarm response, evacuation and assembly, and the everyday hazards a patrol should catch first.

Radio and telephone discipline, plain-language communication, the phonetic alphabet, and interviewing witnesses without contaminating what they saw.
