Report
Shaun has put together a great study guide for the Private Patrol Operator's test. My business partner passed on his first attempt and felt prepared by using Shaun's material. I had a few questions in regards to the business and Shaun was more than happy to communicate via email and by phone. I could not be happier with the product that he provides and I like knowing I am supporting a family man.

Report
My first experience with taking the PPO was nerve wrecking. I truly studied the private security guide along with the BSIS California Consumer affairs regulation booklet. The questions thrown at me were not on any of the study material the state provided. I knew the portions I studied and took educated guesses on other questions that were not familiar. I failed with 66% on my exam. I was so angry that I was dooped by BSIS, that I memorized every question that I knew I had trouble on and wrote each one out on my cell phone outside the testing facility. It accumulated to over 60 questions I memorized
