How soon must a guard notify BSIS after discharging a firearm on duty?

A guard must notify the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) within seven days after discharging a firearm while on duty. This requirement is in place to ensure that all incidents involving firearm discharge are reported in a timely manner, allowing for a proper investigation and the maintenance of safety standards within the private security industry. The seven-day timeframe balances the need for prompt reporting with the practical realities of gathering necessary information and evidence related to the incident. Ensuring that such events are documented helps maintain accountability and helps in reinforcing best practices for firearm usage among security personnel.
