Off-Duty Security for Active New Jersey Law Enforcement Officers

Whether you're looking to work off-duty security now or preparing for opportunities after retirement, SORA100 helps active New Jersey law enforcement officers understand the SORA certification process and determine whether they qualify for available training exemptions.

The SORA100 Three-Step Process for Active Law Enforcement Officers

STEP 1

Verify Your Training Exemption

Contact our instructor, Charles Covin, to review your current law enforcement status and determine whether you qualify for the New Jersey State Police exemption from the 24-hour SORA training requirement.

We'll explain the process, answer your questions, and make sure you understand the next steps before you begin.

STEP 2

Complete Your Application & Fingerprinting

Once your eligibility has been reviewed, we'll help you:

• Purchase your SORA Application ID Number.

• Schedule your fingerprinting appointment.

• Complete the required background check process.

We'll walk you through each requirement so you know exactly what to expect.

STEP 3

Submit Your Required Identification

Provide:

• A clear photo of your active New Jersey law enforcement identification.

• A recent passport-style profile photo for your SORA identification card.

We'll review your submission to help ensure everything is complete before it is processed.

Planning to Retire Soon?

If you're approaching retirement and think you may want to work off-duty or private security in the future, now is the time to learn about your SORA options.

Under current New Jersey State Police guidance, active law enforcement officers may qualify for an exemption from the 24-hour SORA training requirement. Once you retire or leave active service, that exemption no longer applies. Understanding your options before retirement may save you time and additional training later.
