If many states do not have state-wide requirements for licensing security guards, how does that affect the
overall condition of security guards in the United States?

It is not a factor in the nation, as each state follows requirements that concern only that state.

It weakens the overall readiness of U.S. security guards.

O Many states are in the process of attempting to correct that situation.

It is cause for great alarm and should be dealt with immediately on both state and federal levels.
