25 | On November 7, 2023 Licensing Program Analysts (LPA's) Susana Martinez and Veronica Diaz conducted an unannounced case management- licensee initiated inspection to deliver a waiver. LPA's met with Site Director Debbie Blumenthal and advised her for the purpose of the inspection. Together with the director, LPA's toured the facility inside and outside.
The center requested a waiver to allow armed guards on campus. In accordance with Section 101175(b), the waiver is granted. The waiver is valid for the term of the license and is subject to review at the discretion of the licensing agency.

or private security employer.
- The individual must possess a valid firearms qualification card issued by the California
Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. (also

- The firearm must remain on the individual’s person, retained in a holster which has a
retention level no lower than level three (3).
- The individual carrying the firearm must undergo and clear a background check by the
