Cancellation of guard certification



The local police department of the guard’s municipality of residence can cancel the guard certification altogether or for a fixed period if
  • on account of essential changes in circumstances, the guard no longer meets the requirements laid down by law
  • the guard has been sentenced under a legally final judgement for a crime that shows this person to be unsuitable for the job, or if such a person has intentionally acted wrongly to a significant degree as a guard
  • the guard has substantially violated essential conditions or restrictions in the guard certification.
Moreover, the police department in question must cancel the guard certification if the guard so requests.

A commanding police officer may temporarily cancel guard certification if the police learn of facts that are likely to lead to full cancellation of the guard certification. If guard certification has been cancelled or if grounds exist for temporary cancellation of guard certification, a police officer may take possession of the guard identity card in order to surrender it to a commanding police officer.
