We have helped more than
persons to pass the CA PPO test!
(Did you see this?!)
Recently, a PPO applicant failed his 120-minute Private Patrol Operator license test for the third time.
There are 6 different tests, and he had only prepared for about 100 questions,
instead of studying for all 6 of the different PPO tests.
(That's like studying for the DMV driver's license written test by only reading
the first 15 pages of their DMV study book instead of all 87 pages. Bad!)
Then, after studying our fully-updated-for-2013 affordable
more-than 600-study-questions-with-answers
material
(and more than 200 pages of supporting datasheets with graphics,
and a realistic 'practice Final Exam testing'
too!),
he re-took the test, which was a 4th different test-- passing in about 30 minutes!
UPDATE: a week later, another person used our material to pass in 25 minutes!
And another did it in 40-some minutes!
NEW PPO TEST FINISHING RECORD: 11/2012-- 15 minutes! (listed way below)
Speed is fun but its not important.
What is important: In 20+ years, barring any language issue,
NOBODY has ever failed who knew & understood all our PPO material!
PASS GUARANTEED in writing (see way below).

Some of these are titles OK, some are not! We have the answers from BSIS.
170 pocket-sized flash cards! 

Now included:
Ask about the new 170 pocket-sized paper flash cards never available before 2013.

PPO test secret #1:
Understand that you must know the data needed to pass
every one of all 6 issued different 100-question tests.

Avoid the clowns.
Avoid the phonies. 
Only www.thePIgroup.com has the complete 2013 CA PPO study material,
part of a one-on-one complete PPO business consultation package!
We have helped more than 3500 pass their state's license tests-- more than 300 in the past year.
Nobody else has even helped 30 to pass the test in the last year!
TESTIMONIAL: "The materials really came in handy. It's great. Very self-explanatory." - EM
The brand-new version: BSIS 'Power To Arrest training manual'!

previous edition,
more topics, and easier to read;
know this with our 600 study questions
and
our 125 pages of memory-enhancing datasheets and you can walk
into your licensing test with the confidence of 'Professor PPO'!
We analyzed it page-by-page; we know the main new change and we also
discovered the one thing that has quietly been removed from the last edition.
And OUCH! We found a glaring error that the State proof-reader somehow missed!
Mention this bonus when you call 818-883-6969
and we will include it with your package order!
"I failed three years ago by 6 points. I paid to reapply last year, and I tried again-- I failed even worse with the new test, getting only 51% correct. Then I found you guys. PASS!" - VJ
More than 600 PPO study questions with verified correct answers,
plus more than 200 pages of question-supporting
datasheets
with photos/graphics, a Badge & Patch design kit,
150 paper flash cards, and a practice Final Exam testing!
1) If you want to offer or sell security or bodyguard services in California,
you must have a California PPO (Private Patrol Operator) license.
It is a misdemeanor crime & $10,000 fine
to offer these services without a PPO license.
We can help you go & pass the licensing test
just 3 hours from now if you wanted to.
2) We have been helping examinees with the PPO test since the 1980s;
texts, simulated tests, and more; updating frequently and extensively;
the current edition is FULLY FULLY FULLY UPDATED FOR 2013.
We include important state-issued data
and the best of privately-issued data;
a 7-pound 40-items package <<< most popular choice! or a 15-pound package.
Both have the same pass-the-test
quick-study material, the badge & patch design kit,
the Quick Tests, paper flash cards, the practice 'Final Exam' testing, and more.
See the 200+ items list way below!
3) For some items, we also mix in some state-issued data modified into more managable & absorbable data!
The main study questions are also available in Spanish!
THIS 2013 EDITION HAS MORE GRAPHICS & PHOTOS THAN BEFORE!





Both packages include a NEW practice 'Final Exam' of some key PPO questions, to test
some of your retained knowledge
--for use ONLY AFTER you have completely studied
and studied and fully absorbed all of our detailed 600-question PPO study material
and the more than 200 pages of question-supporting datasheets with memory-supporting graphics!
Now includes powerful 'PPO QUICK TESTS' by topic to further improve your test score!
4) Here's some little known information:
PPOs are allowed to conduct investigations, if incidental
to the theft, loss,
embezzlement,
misappropriation, concealment of any
property,
or any other
thing enumerated in
section 7582,
which the
PPO
has been hired or engaged
to protect or watch (7582.1.b).
So, our large 2013 'Package A' for PPO now includes some related investigative items!
5) Another secret:
Some multi-service PPOs earn $$$$ by also offering other services related to protection:
'Collection Agency', and/or 'Polygraph Lie-Detection'.
No additional license is needed in CA for either of them!
So yes, some initial related data for these is also included.





New package section:
Both packages include a NEW 'PPO & Firearms' compilation of various PPO firearm-related
training sheets;
some test questions & answers; datasheets about insurance, reporting a shooting,
obtaining an FQ card,
permit restrictions, FQ requalification, deadly force rules, calibers allowed,
permit renewal timing,
steps to follow if a guard's gun is lost or stolen,
expired permit rules,
firearm nomenclature,
a complete blank firearm permit application,
logging serial numbers of employee guns,
and more!
Need just the smaller package, mainly the more-than-600 sample questions
with verified
correct answers,
the Quick Tests, a practice Final Exam testing,
the badge & patch design kit, the more than 200
question-supporting datasheets with
graphics, flash cards, and more than 30 other key items? Then choose 'Package B'!
We hear the same thing, every week:
"The PPO material from the State didn't help me at all".
- or -
"The PPO stuff the State sent me was only good for less than 10 of the 100 questions".
- or -
"I have failed the PPO test 4 times, and each time the test was completely different".
We know what you're saying, and here's why-it-is-what-it-is:
The State is here to regulate you, NOT to educate you.
They provide you information on things that they can fine ($) a PPO for.
They do NOT help you with the majority of the test.
It is an 'experienced-based' examination.
Most of the PPO test is about knowledge you supposedly have from not only
security work, but also from running a business and from being an employer.
The truth is: you do not know these things, causing most to fail.


Why does one new PPO pay $2600 for a year of voluntary million-dollar insurance,
but another PPO pays $3600 yet he is no different than the first PPO?
Secrets for saving $$$$ on PPO liability
insurance! See our #146 way below.
BONUS: Pass with our material,
we can make you a simple webpage FREE!
(If you don't have a webpage, the public & businesses can't find you to hire you.)
5) Finally, other 'good fit' for and 'money makers' for multi-service PPOs are
'Process Serving' (the hand-delivery of legal papers), and 'Fingerprinting'.
Yes, data is included to make you aware of these important
services ones that you can make available to the public!

Call for your UPS tracking number ONE HOUR after we receive your order!





Both packages include a 'Badge & Shoulder Patch design kit'!
Sample badge and shoulder patch design artwork 'blanks',
required for you to complete and submit to BSIS for
them to approve before they will issue you a PPO
license.
BSIS does not provide you these or any help or samples for this,
but they will NOT issue your license if you don't
do it right.
We provide the simple types of designs BSIS is expecting--
you fill
in the blanks with the required information.
Included are samples of completed artwork to help you design yours.
PPO test secret #2:
Most test-takers do the worst on
this one PPO test topic: MANAGEMENT

Management A: Records
Management B: Employees
Management C: Legal Requirements
We help prepare you for these-- and much more!
CALIFORNIA PRIVATE PATROL OPERATOR
initial and follow-up consultations,
PPO licensing testing information
and

the badge & patch design kit, and the PPO Quick Tests are included in both packages!

the stocky 7-pound 40-items 'Package B' is less of a back-breaker!
<<< most popular choice!
Both have the same study questions and the Badge & Patch design kit,
the practice Final Exam testing and the nearly 200 'giant paper flashcards' of supporting data.
We have helped persons to pass the PPO test for nearly 25 years!
Written and compiled by a person who has been hired by BSIS
for the re-write of another BSIS test, thus learning some 'secrets'
behind their 'answer choices' and other test-question ideas!
--also: author/compiler has taught PI, PPO, and other
BSIS at private schools and universities since 1991,
and has
easily passed both the PI and PPO
qualified manager examinations himself!--
Another note: as a licensed PPO, the author/editor of this package
shot two armed robbers in a gun battle while working-- he surviving that
situation
and the follow-up steps brings you information available nowhere else!
We don't give you the exact test questions, word for word, of the 6 PPO tests, but we have even BETTER than that!
The success record of our clients for 20 years proves that our many years of actual PPO experience
and teaching PPO and the following of the information provided by the state all can produce a guarantee!







Both packages now include a 22-page
'Sexual Harassment In The Workplace' section!
Important not just because there are several license test questions
about sexual harassment, but also because this can be a source
of lawsuits against licensed California Private Patrol Operators.
Again, YES, there ARE questions about sexual harassment on the PPO license test!
Including datasheets of:
--What is Sexual Harassment?
--Examples of Sexual Harassment
--When is the Employer liable for Sexual Harassment?
--Methods to reduce or prevent Sexual Harassment
--What is 'Quid Pro Quo' Sexual Harassment?

--Federal government-issued information about sexual harassment
--Sexual harassment training of your company supervisors
---and more!
Also new:
We also include information on the new BSIS
'Potential License Denial or Suspension for Failure to Pay Taxes'
TRUTH: Most of us started a

PPO business to make money.
So here's a scary truth: only ONE person who offers to help you with
the
PPO test has ever earned a living from a PPO business. That is ME.
If someone hasn't done that, then how dare they say that they teach it?!
Offering guard and bodyguard services in California made me a lot of money.
I've sold hundreds of thousands of dollars of regular guard work in CA, but think about this--
Not bragging, but proud that only I can say:
NO other CA PPO has received advance
payments of $50,000 AND $100,000
for personal bodyguard work, IN ADVANCE of doing the work. I have. NO OTHER CA PPO!
Why is this important? Because only I can share with you some tips that might someday help this happen for you too.
I have arranged more PPO sales and service than anyone else who says that they can assist you with becoming a PPO.
And no other PPO has ever directly contacted as many celebrities as I have-- I might share some of those secrets too!
PPO test secret #3
Watch out for these types of answer choices:
SIMILAR

Sometimes more than one answer choice
will look the same-- but there will be
a small
difference if you look close!

Recently, BSIS introduced the 'Veterans Come First' program.
In order to assist veterans in their transition from military service
to civilian employment, the Bureau of Security and Investigative
Services (BSIS) has implemented the Veterans Come First Program.
This program offers priority services to veteran applicants and
assists
veterans by leveraging their transferable military experience and
training in order to meet all or part of the Bureau’s licensing qualifications.
The BSIS Veterans Come First Program provides the following support for veteran applicants:
- Provides veteran applicants with their own personal BSIS staff person to support them through the licensing process.
- Provides veteran applicants with direct line telephone numbers and email contact information.
- Provides veteran applicants priority in the licensure process.
- Email or telephone notification as soon as the veteran’s application is approved by the Bureau for licensure.
For Private Patrol Operator and Private Patrol Operator Qualified Manager:
Military veterans who have at least 1 year of experience
(2,000 hours)
working as a guard, watchperson, sentry, MP,
or equivalent, are eligible
to take the licensing Private Patrol Operator
and/or
Private Patrol Operator Qualified Manager test(s).
You can receive reimbursement from the Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) for many of the licensing and certification tests the State of California
administers. The PPO license testing fee has been approved for VA reimbursement.
Program details included.
PPO test secret #4:
Many test-takers have a tough time
with this type of answer choices:
'Choose the BEST answer'.

You might find questions where more
than one of the answer choices is correct.
But one choice is a little better than the others.
We help prepare you for these-- and much more!
Materials also include a recent change
to
employee-law that a PPO must know!
200 datasheets with graphics
enhance our 2013 PPO study material!

We have helped more than 3500 persons pass their state's license tests; more than 300 in the past year!
"I failed once, badly. Then studied your material for a weekend, and passed the test in about 40 minutes. I am so happy. I still can't believe it!" - MW
A good PPO test
success story!
Recently, a PPO license applicant called us late on a Saturday afternoon.
English is not his primary language. He is from India.
He had failed the licensing test nine months ago, getting a score of 50% (a bad fail).
His year-to-complete was going to run out in 2 weeks, requiring a new application and $500 again.
He had his final-chance test scheduled for next Thursday.
He couldn't answer even one of the sample questions we asked of him.
At 10pm that night, he began a 400-mile drive to come
pick up our nearly-7-pound Guarantee-Pass PPO package on Sunday.
A long drive-- in a van, with his pregnant wife!
He drove back home 400 miles, arriving home Sunday night.
He called us Thursday morning and said:
"I passed easily! There was not one question I wasn't prepared for. Thank you!"
We have 2 packages to choose from:

than 600 sample

10 locations
in other states, given most Mondays through Saturdays.
--Testing locations alphabetically (subject to change):
Anaheim, Atascadero, Bakersfield, Carson, El Monte, Fresno, Hayward,
Redding, Riverside, Sacramento, San Diego, Santa Clara, Santa Rosa
--71% required to pass (NOTE: getting 70% correct is a FAIL).
--done on a computer.
--Approximately half of the applicants fail the written exam.
--Multiple versions of the test (fail, and you are later re-tested with a completely different test).

Just like at DMV,
you need to know all the test topics to pass whichever test they give you.
--You receive your exam results immediately at the
end
of the test, with a face-photo of you printed on it.
If you pass, you will be told 'Pass', with no score given.
If you fail, you will be given a numerical score,
but they will NOT tell you exactly which questions you answered wrong.
When you come back for a 're-test', you'll get a very different test.
If you get a CA PPO license in late-2013, you will be about #1759x-#1762x
(PPO license #17580x is September 2013).

numbered below for easy discussion if you call us;
the popular 7-pound 'package B' contains most of the key items (as indicated below)!
Another 'secret' for you, from a 20-year BSIS-teacher:
Multiple-choice is a good way to test somebody,
but it is the very very WORST way to study!
Don't worry-- we know the best way.
To protect you:
For some non-opinion topics whose answers can not be verified in the
written statutes, we contact BSIS's policy staff to verify the correct answer!
NOTE: this is not the same as the BSIS 800/916 consumer-help phone staff.
Although they do their best, they have given BAD incorrect
information that is the opposite of what the policy staff advises.
Two such documented examples are about 'badges on belts',
'a PPO working as a guard for another PPO's company',
and 'Titles or Ranks on badges'!
The help-line gave what amounted to wrong old-wives-tales on both,
while the policy staff gave the opposite --and accurate-- answers.
Need just the smaller package, mainly the more-than-600 sample questions
with verified correct answers, and the
PPO Quick Tests, the practice Final Exam,
the more than 200 question-supporting
datasheets with graphics, the Badge & Patch designs,
150 paper flash cards, and about 40 other key items? Then choose the popular 7-pound 'Package B'!
Do you have a law-enforcement background?
The big package not only prepares you for the California
Private Patrol
Operator license test, but it also helps 'level the playing field' for you
to soon match PPOs with their years of private experience.
Look at the 1 to 200+ list that starts less than a
foot below this that shows all of the items available.
It would take you many many years of private practice to gather that knowledge!
Plus, we can help you make your first PPO webpage: FREE.
And we can help you design a PPO advertising postcard: FREE.
Many of those who have used our packages came from a
police, sheriff, or corrections career.
We have assisted from all ranks,
from Officer or Deputy and Detective through Chief of Police!
We 
questions!
Many who complain about failing this test say there was 'answers open to opinion'!
We agree-- tests should use questions of definite answers, never opinions.
What if your experience gives you a different opinion on a
question than the test writer has? YOU get it wrong then!
Oh well, be prepared to possibly answer a few 'opinion' questions.
Knowing our material will give you a 'heads up' on this type of question too.
Another good PPO
test success story!
His primary language is Arabic.
He failed the PPO license test 8 times.
When a year went by, his application expired.
He had to reapply, paying the state $500 again, and had to LiveScan again.
Then he ordered our PPO package. PASSSSssssssssss!

The special report: 'PPO Business-Name-Choice Secrets!
The state will not issue a PPO license to you until you give them
a business name for your new company that they can approve.
BUT:
with more than 2500 CA PPOs currently licensed, most 'generic names'
are already taken, and you will often get a 'Name Denial Letter'
(a copy of one is included!). Plus, there are other restrictions
involved in
the choosing of names. This report will tell you how
to be pretty sure if a name will be approved, and not let
you make the same mistakes made by others every week.
WARNING: don't bother registering names for your business now,
or filing Fictitious Business Name statements, or paying for Internet
website addresses, until AFTER the Bureau approves your name choice--
they don't care about
what names you say you already 'own'! (3 pages)
Not choosing the right name now can slow you down from getting the license.

140. --If a PPO wants to provide guards to work on certain school properties
for more than 20 hours per week, a special training for those guards is required.

private patrol operator. A syllabus of the required training is included.--

Included is an example of an affordable-to-print full-color 4X6 postcard that has been

change to your phone, license, and company name, and possibly add some minor changes.

it that you

Insurance price secrets!


146. --Here is an insurance mystery.
PPO John and PPO Bob both get their PPO licenses the same day.
They both plan to run the same exact unarmed security company.
Liability insurance is not required by law unless you are going
to work armed, but they know that clients will be requesting it.
They both fill out the same million-dollar liability insurance application.
But John is charged $1000 more for the base price than Bob was!
If their companies are identical, why was Bob quoted $2600 and John was charged $3600?
We know the 'secret'!
On the application, there is usally two dozen 'types of security service'
that they ask you to check off if you plan to offer each.
Some of those choices are secretly considered to be 'low risk',
some choices are secretly considered to be 'high risk'.
Some of those risk-ratings don't make sense to many PPOs.
Just clicking one wrong choice adds $1000 to your base insurance price.
We have the secret list that shows which
often is low-risk and which is high-risk . . . .

"I'm in a hotel in Hayward, so happy! I just came back from my PPO license test.
I finished in 40 minutes, thanks to your study package.
There was nothing that your material didn't cover.
There was not one question I didn't know the answer to.
Brother, I must have gotten about 100% correct. Thank you!"

Written and compiled by a person who has been hired by BSIS
for the re-write of a BSIS license test, thus learning some 'secrets'
behind their 'answer choices' and other test-question ideas!
--also: author/editor has taught PI, PPO,
and other BSIS at schools since 1991,
and has
easily passed both the PI and PPO
qualified manager examinations himself!--
Another note: as a licensed PPO, the author/editor of this
package shot two armed robbers in a gun battle while working--
he surviving
that situation
and dealing with the follow-up steps
brings you
information available nowhere else!
We don't give you the exact test questions, word for word,
of the 6 PPO tests, but we have BETTER than that!
The success record of our clients for 20 years proves
that our many years of actual PPO experience
and teaching PPO and the following of the information
provided by the state all can produce a guarantee!
Having been actually hired by BSIS for the re-write of a
past BSIS test gives us insight NOT available elsewhere.
We don't 'give you the answers' to the 6 PPO tests--
we TEACH you the important information
you need to operate a PPO business,
which is exactly what you need to know to PASS the test!
Additionally, author has a law degree and 3 years of law school,
allowing him to explain the legal portions to you more simply than others.
TESTIMONIAL: "It's no wonder so many people write you. Your materials were ultra-professional. Your service and delivery was FAST. I passed easily. And a month later, you were helping me set up my business and get my first clients. Thanks very much." - RD
Another good PPO
test success story!
He is from Nigeria-- strong accent, hard to understand.
He failed the PPO test. Then he got our nearly-7-pound package.
Like the GUARANTEE says: then he passed!
TESTIMONIAL: "I passed with flying colors after using your material. I came from a non-traditional background to this license. Your material was 'night & day different' than what I had first got from (his name given but omitted here); I could not have even come close to passing using his minimal set of 'questions', of which one even said 'not sure of correct answer'!." - (PPO's initials omitted, as we are waiting to see if like others who failed with (name omitted)'s 'help', he then lists this PPO as 'Passed with his help' even though others failed with his 'help' and then came to us)
SERIOUS WARNING:
Never pay for PPO license test help without a written guarantee!
We assist people EVERY month who tried to pass with 'other methods' and failed.
If you have wasted money on worthless junk that didn't help you to pass the PPO test,
we can help point you towards getting your money back
from them for selling you a 'defective product or service'.
Avoid the clowns.
Avoid the phonies. 
Only www.thePIgroup.com has the 2013 CA PPO study material!
We have helped more than 3500 pass their state's license tests-- more than 300 in the past year.
Nobody else has even helped 30 to pass in the last year!
TESTIMONIAL: "I passed at the Sacramento location yesterday. They don't give you your pass score, but I did fine. Your 'secret' about PPO business proposals-- I am very glad I learned that as I needed it for the test-- I never would have known about that! And like you said, sometimes they ask the same question again but re-worded." - SJ
Our 'Package B' received an unsolicited & critical 'Accuracy Audit'.
Line-by-line, every part was analyzed and accuracy-checked TWICE by a neutral PPO company.
Only one question-answer of the 600+ was challenged--
and that answer of ours was found to be 100% correct!
This attention-to-detail is why those who know our study material are so successful.

NEVER USE ANY PPO STUDY HELP THAT DOESN'T HAVE A PASS GUARANTEE!
See our simple written conditional guarantee way above.
TESTIMONIAL: "God bless you! You are the first person I am calling-- I just came out of the test with my PASS receipt that I am going to frame! I had failed the PPO tests SIX times, then I found you." - GK
Another good PPO test
success story!
Punjabi is his primary language.
He failed the PPO test badly.
He got our Guaranteed-Pass study package, and then PASSED.
When he called to thank us, he said:
"There was nothing I couldn't answer."
Simulated Testing for PPO

Also optionally available are our Internet

Helping you from the start.

Unlike 'seminars' or on-line training
or weak pretend
on-line testing or a silly
'PDF download'
where
paid attendance is secretly nearly 100% profit for the seller,
the 'profit' on this consulting and these big
packages
and their shipping is very minimal.
However, paper material to have in your hands to read,
read again, and read
again several more times, is far more effective than seminars or on-line training!
After reimbursing us for the cost of the printing of all the pounds of paper material
(Did you know that print shops charge us sales tax on every page printed?!)
and for the binders and for the dividers and their tax and for the
packing and for the box and the shipping cost of such heavy packages,
there is not much left over from what you paid us for the consultation,
not to mention the hours of assembly and value of the advice and knowledge involved.
After a valuable consultation plants the critical seeds and sets your focus,
having supporting material in your hands to read and review anytime
is far more memory-sticking than seminars or on-line training!

Another good PPO
test success story!
He is from the Fiji Islands, in the south Pacific Ocean, near Australia.
English is not his primary language.
He failed the PPO license test 7 times.
He failed 4 times, then he had to pay $700 to apply again.
Then he failed 3 more times.
He found out about our package the night before his 8th test was scheduled for.
Quick help was provided. And he passed that next morning!

BEWARE OF USING THE WRONG MATERIAL TO PREPARE WITH!
Blunt and to the point: there is some worthless 'junk' out there,
promoted as 'helpful for PPO tests'. Buyer beware.
We have assisted many who failed after trying alternate choices.
OUCH! Some admit that you can fail even if you learn their material!!!
Our material includes 'trigger questions' (related sample questions that
are similar to but not actually connected to any of the multiple PPO tests,
planted within as to later prove plagiarism-- catches our competitors every time.
We have successfully shut down 3 plagiarizers-- and they paid our legal bills!
We pay $$$ for valid information that helps to punish those that try to rip us off.



Every year, another 'copy-cat' appears-- two have lost their CA licenses because of it.
BSIS sees it as 'a fraudulent or dishonest act' to steal material. Thank you, BSIS!
We print out their websites each week, as to document the copy-cat changes too.
We assist people EVERY month who tried to pass with 'other methods' and failed.
If you have wasted money on worthless junk that didn't help you to pass the PPO test,
we can help you towards getting your money back for purchasing a 'defective product'.
We have assisted more than 3500 persons to pass their state's license tests, more than 300 in the past year:
nobody else can prepare you for all versions of the PPO license tests!

Testimonials
We've received hundreds from satisfied licensees!
MORE EVERY WEEK!
We have helped more than 3500 persons to pass
their state license tests, more than 300 in the past year.
Nobody else has even helped 30 persons
to pass this test in the last year!
We have persons who first failed after using 'alternate' help,
then the persons wisely used our material to pass the next time.
But later the 'alternate help' claimed to have helped them to pass!
Yes, there is a guy whose material has let his 'students' fail the PPO test,
yet when they passed later after using OUR material next,
he then claimed them as his successes! (OUCH!)
Good news: he has removed all his advertising from YouTube,
so perhaps this will stop happening.

Here is some information from the State's website:
(these are not items for the test)
Private Patrol Operator or Qualified Manager
Requirements for Licensure
A private patrol operator operates a business that protects persons or property or prevents theft. In order for a company to seek licensure as a Private Patrol Operator, the Qualified Manager (see below) must have passed the licensing examination. In addition, each individual applicant, partner, or corporate officer must meet the following requirements:
-
Be 18 or older.
-
Undergo a criminal history background check through the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); and
-
Have committed no offense or violation of the Private Security Services Act that would be grounds for license suspension or revocation

You can choose the full package above,
or choose just the most often-needed items:
Available as
Package A. the full & complete big
study-and-business package
('the big 16-pound package',
including all items #1 through #200+)
-or-
some persons request only
Package B. <<< most popular choice!
(the 40+ items indicated above)
(these forty-plus items are known together as
'Package B: the more than 600 questions with answers,
more than 200 pages of datasheets with graphics/photos,
the badge/patch
designs stuff, the practice Final Exam testing,
flash cards, and about 40 items more only-- the smaller 7-pound package')
separately from the complete package,
to supplement your existing related knowledge
-and-
--some of the 200+ items are available on a per-piece basis---
NOTE: Both packages include the same Badge & Patch design kit,
600+ study-prep questions with answers, the practice Final Exam
testing, the 200+ question-supporting data pages with graphics/photos,
and the PPO Quick Tests!
Written and compiled by a person who has been hired by BSIS
for the re-write of a BSIS license test, thus learning some 'secrets'
behind their 'answer choices' and other test-question ideas!
--also: author/compiler has taught PI, PPO,
and other BSIS at schools since 1991,
and has
easily passed both the PI and PPO
qualified manager examinations himself!--
Another note: as a licensed PPO, the author/editor of this package
shot two armed robbers in a gun battle while working-- he surviving
that situation
and dealing with the follow-up steps brings you
information
available nowhere else!
We don't give you the exact test questions, word for word,
to the 6 PPO tests, but we have even BETTER than that!
The success record of our clients for 20 years proves
that our many years of actual PPO experience
and teaching PPO
and the following of the information provided by the state all can produce a guarantee!
Having been actually hired by BSIS for the re-write of a
BSIS license test gives us insight NOT available elsewhere.
We don't just 'give you the answers' to the 6 PPO tests--
we TEACH you the important key information
you need to properly & legally operate a PPO business,
which is exactly what you need to know to PASS the test!
Additionally, author has a law degree and 3 years of law school,
allowing him to explain the legal portions to you more simply than others.

Page-counts, question-counts and package-weights are approximate but are very close.
All items ordered will be presumed requested in English unless otherwise stated in writing.
And if you haven't applied for your license yet,
we offer FREE help with your PPO application!
We have helped hundreds of PPOs with their applications, no charge!
A SECRET:
Seminars, or studying on-line, is an ineffective waste of time.
Reading our high-quality printed paper PPO study materials with photos, over and over,
studying around your daily duties, or sitting in your car, or even while resting in bed,
is FAR more effective then trying to study on-line or at a 'seminar'.
Do one final review while parked outside the test center for your PPO test appointment!
Reminder:
200+ pages of datasheets with graphics
enhance our 2013 PPO study material!
OR, in the meantime:
Do you need a Qualified Manager for your California
Private Patrol Operator PPO licensed business NOW?
This usually occurs from three situations:
1) Your existing QM moved away or passed away with little warning.
2) You need to start operating a security guard business quick,
sooner than the time it will take you to apply for and take the PPO license test.
3) You want to start your new PPO business now, using an existing QM,
and will later take the test yourself to replace the existing QM.
At www.thePIgroup.com
(your source for guaranteed-pass study material for the 2013 PPO license test!),
there are many existing QMs ready to assist with such a situation.
Short-term, temporary, or long-term-- male and female,
and of many languages:
English, Spanish, Korean, Arabic, Vietnamese, Chinese, Hausa,
Japanese, Russian, Lithuanian, Persian, Croation, and more.
We have assisted many persons to find a Qualified Manager within 24 hours!
Call 818-883-6969.
We have helped hundreds of applicants to pass the PPO license test, and
can refer you to many already qualified persons to become your 'instant QM'!
TESTIMONIAL: "Very thorough materials, thank you. I completed and passed the PPO license test in 20 minutes." HS

The 16-pound 'Package A'
ships to you in a 14 X 14 box;
the stocky 40-items-plus nearly-7-pound 'Package B' test-prep-plus
is less of a back-breaker! <<< most popular choice!
This is NOT some wimpy ten-cent 'PDF file' to download on a computer!
This is not a silly 'PowerPoint' or a confusing & boring multiple-choice test.
This is a large 7-pound package, hundreds of pages,
to read and re-read whenever you have spare time.
And it has the ultra-important PASS GUARANTEE above!
Both packages have the same test-study and test-preparation materials.
At any of the 13 PPO test locations,
you will be surrounded by other test-takers.
You can pass, yet most of the other test-takers will not pass: see our written guarantee above!
Another
bonus! 
You will need 'marketing materials' to make your PPO company bigger.
Postcards are an effective tool, as they can be mailed themselves with a stamp, or
put in an envelope. An easy item for prospective clients to pin to their bulletin board.
Included is an example of an affordable-to-print full-color 4X6 postcard design that has
been proven to assist PPOs in getting new clients. It is already designed; you just need to
change it to your phone, license, and company name, and possibly add some minor changes.
And at no charge, we can custom design yours for you, giving you a .pub file of
it that you
can then give or e-mail to many print shops for immediate printing!
TESTIMONIAL: "Thanks so much-- I passed the test! There were no suprises." PO
Our anti-copy 'ghost
printing' of dark embedded-word watermarking helps us fight piracy!
Don't waste time with study help that doesn't include a PASS guarantee!
Ask anyone who says they can help you with this test:
"How many people have you helped
pass a license test in the past year?"
I have helped more than 3500 people
to pass their state licensing tests.
Only I have helped more than
300 to pass in the past year-
NOBODY else has helped even 30 in the past year!
Having been actually hired by BSIS as a paid SME (Subject Matter Expert) for
the re-write of another BSIS license test gives me insight NOT available elsewhere.
Those 3 days spent in Sacramento with the CA state test-writers SAYS IT ALL.
The State of California sent me a round-trip airplane ticket.
The State of California gave me a hotel room for 3 days.
And the State of California paid me for my 3 days of time.
So, I know HOW BSIS tests are written and WHY.
(And I have the 'Thank you' letter that followed from BSIS on my wall!)

Need just the smaller package, mainly the more-than-600 sample questions with verified
correct answers,
the practice Final Exam testing, the PPO Quick Tests, the Badge & Patch design kit,
the more than 200 question-supporting datasheets
with graphics/photos, 150 paper flash cards, and about 40 other items?
Then choose the very popular 7-pound 'Package B'!
Call (818) 883-6969

Don't waste even a penny on garbage
'on-line' or 'download manual' PPO study help!
We have delivered many PPO packages to persons who first used such help and then failed.
We have persons who first failed after using this 'alternate' help,
then the persons wisely used our material to pass the next time.
But later that 'alternate help' claimed to have helped them to pass!

Another such recent complaint (November 2012):
"I own a security company. I paid a guy $99 for a download of about
100 pages of what he said would be 'study material for the PPO test'.
I studied it, then took the test. I failed.
Almost none of my test was covered in his material. I'm asking him for a refund.
And I have ordered your 7 pound, guaranteed-pass 500-page package NOW.
I wish I had known about you earlier."
---This is what happens when test-takers are told that
they "only need to know 100 questions because all the
others are just derivatives of that 100". THAT'S A LIE!
(There are 6 different tests, each mostly different.)
The purchaser above regrets believing in that new PPO's 'sale pitch'
about the selling of 100 download pages, and wishes that instead
had first gone with the proven 25-year help that has assisted
more than 800 to pass this PPO test, many many in the last year!
THIS VICTIM'S CONTACT DATA AVAILABLE
IF NEEDED BY BSIS OR OTHER VICTIMS
However, that seller has now removed ALL of the YouTube
video advertisements
for his California license testing 'help',

so perhaps there will be no more victims
(they now show the above 'video removed' logo).
ANOTHER GUY SAID:
"I got 'study material' from a guy who bad-mouthed you,
and he said I would pass with his stuff. I failed even though I knew his data.
Then I went to you and got your materials. I then passed very easily." - DS
ANOTHER GUY SAID:
"I paid some guy through PayPal for some PPO information.
It wasn't enough. So I got your package and passed!" - NK
ANOTHER GUY SAID: "
(Federal agent) Another guy said he had PPO stuff on the Internet.
I checked it out, compared it-- it was nothing." - VG
ANOTHER GUY SAID:
"I failed 3 times. Then I wasted $300 for some in-person training--
it didn't help, I failed a 4th time. I am so glad I next found you!" - ID
ANOTHER GUY SAID:
"I passed with flying colors after using your material. I came from a non-traditional background to this license.
Your material was 'night & day different' than what I had first got from (his name given but omitted here);
I could not have even come close to passing using his minimal set of 'questions',
of which one even said 'not sure of correct answer'!."
- (PPO's initials omitted, as we are waiting to see if like others who failed with (name omitted)'s 'help',
he then lists this PPO as 'Passed with his help' even though others failed with his 'help' and then came to us.
UPDATE: Yes, he did list this person as passing with his help EVEN THOUGH HE FAILED WITH IT!
)
SUMMARY:
There is a guy whose material has let his 'students' fail the PPO test,
yet when they passed later after using OUR material next,
he then claimed them as his successes! (OUCH!)
Good news:
He has removed all his advertising from YouTube,
so perhaps this will stop happening.
RECENT TESTIMONIAL: "I got some sample questions from another guy-- that included some wrong answers! Then I got your material." - SL
We've heard enough complaints. 
After hearing enough complaints about a 'PPO download'
available somewhere for $100,
we tracked one down and took a look at it--
We examined EVERY PAGE of it. We examined EVERY WORD of it.
It is no wonder why it is no longer promoted for sale.
Summary: we CLEARLY see why the complaints and fail results exist!
1- Misspellings. 2- Many wrong answers or inaccurate or poor information.
3- Long drawn-out explanations of legal terms of no PPO testing value.
4-Uses the exact opposite of standard education training:
every page of the download is solid black with mostly white letters on it
instead of the best-for-eyes black print on white page.
5- It is actually a PowerPoint item, meant to be seen on a projector--
NOT on a test-prep manual!
6- If you try to print it (but it says not to, on every page),
it will use MANY black ink cartridges,
due to the unprofessional black background of every page.
7- No sample tests. 8- No lists of sample questions with answers.
9- Luckily its not on YouTube anymore: 
10- Barely covers any true test topics.
Bottom line:
It is a sick joke to claim that his item is adequate PPO study material.
We have a printed copy and will reveal all of its many problems
to those ripped off by it or to complaint investigators.
We assist people EVERY month who tried to pass with 'other methods' and failed.
If you have wasted money on worthless junk that didn't help you to pass the PPO test,
we can help you towards getting your money back for purchasing a 'defective product'.
