I just spoke to Paul Bart, who is a mall cop. He suggested that you contact your Junior College, and take a criminal justice certificate program.
A security guard does not need very much training. It typically just takes one class during a semester to get what you need. Unless you carry a gun then you need gun training.
Some security jobs require you to have some education prior to employment, while others may not. Your best bet would be to contact your local place of interest and ask what is required, and if they provide the training to you.
Before you start a security guard training business you need to register it.
"Mall cops" usually aren't actual police officers - they're typically security guards limited to their duties to observe and report. This is so for a number of reasons. There will usually be a police presence at a mall, unarmed security guards require less training and quaification (in turn, allowing them to be paid less), and mall owners typically don't want the liability associated with having armed security present - a missed shot which hits a bystander would almost certainly result in a devastating lawsuit against the company which hired the armed security service.

If you want to be a security guard you need to know what level of training you'll get from a course. Armed security guards are paid more than unarmed guards and you need a higher level of training to be qualified.
A security guard can need varied certification on a state by state basis pertaining to state law. Certification or training is not always required it can vary by job.
Answering "How much training do you need to be a song writer?"
Even though it seems basic, security need to be trained to avoid bodily harm to people. So there is some manner of certification and training one has to undergo.

Security officer jobs and other related jobs do not usually require a degree or schooling. Usually it is based more on your physical build, experience, and background check.
