Summary

Private Security Officer Quality Assurance Act of 1995 - Authorizes an association of employers of private security officers (officers) to submit fingerprints or other methods of positive identification to the Attorney General for background checks of such officers. Allows the Attorney General to exchange identification and criminal history records with State governmental agencies for licensing and employment purposes. (Sec. 4) Expresses the sense of the Congress that the States should enact statutes for issuing licenses to, and reviewing security services of, employers of officers. Provides that: (1) fees on licenses of officers should compensate the State for its direct costs of implementing and enforcing the program; and (2) procedures for issuing such licenses and reviewing such security services should require employers to assign an employee to duty as an unarmed officer prior to State approval of the employee's registration as an officer only after the employer has submitted an application for a criminal records background check, initiated verification of the employee's personal references and five year employment history, and verified that the employee has successfully completed specified training requirements. Sets forth provisions regarding: (1) registration permit and training requirements; (2) waiver of preassignment screening and training requirements if the officer holds a valid registration certificate of that State or is a sworn law enforcement officer; (3) recognition of out-of-State licenses; (4) employee protection from unreasonable limitations imposed by an employer on the right to seek or obtain subsequent employment; and (5) State use of advisory boards.
