a.12 months
b.2 years
c.No time limit
d.6 months
Explanation
SB 652 imposes a 6-month freshness requirement: the 8-hour Power to Arrest and Appropriate Use of Force course must be completed within 6 months before the Guard Card application is submitted to BSIS. The window is designed to ensure the applicant's training is current. 16 CCR §628 sets the exam-pass requirement at 100% with retakes permitted. Options (a), (b), and (c) misstate the SB 652 window and would render the application non-compliant.
