Certification or Licensing
Directors of casino security must be licensed in the state in which they work. This license is generally issued by a regulatory agency such as the state's casino control board or commission. For specific licensing requirements, visit your state’s gaming commission Web site.
Depending on the specific state, individuals may also need a certificate indicating they have completed an alcohol awareness program or have the TIPS (Training for Intervention Procedures) certificate (http://gettips.com).
Other Requirements
Employers generally conduct extensive background checks for prospective directors of casino security. They require that individuals have no criminal record and pass a drug test. Applicants for all casino jobs must also meet the minimum age requirement set by the state.
