  • Jesse said on May 22, 2010
    Hi! I was also wondering what types of licenses I would need to start a business. I understand I need insurance for every personnel on my team, but is that the only type of insurance I need? My cousin was going to start a business, and he claimed that the government gives out grants for starting businesses; do you know which ones I can file for? I have some experience as an armed security guard (I have my PERC card, 40- hour certificate with semi-auto and auto armed training, FOID card, registered guns, and of course I worked at a couple of private security places) and I am currently attending college to receive my degree in criminal justice; is this enough training to start a business in private security? Please let me know, thank you so much! I live in the city of Chicago, Illinois, the United States of America. Please email me at www.jessevaughn1983@yahoo.com or call at 224/220-7858. Thanks again! Jesse

    To the person in Enid, Oklahoma. Check with CLEET ( Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training ) This is the state agency that licenses and trains security officers and police officers. I believe that CLEET is now located in Enid so you should not have any trouble locating them and getting all of the information that you need. Good luck.

  • delane potter said on July 25, 2010
    Conroe Texas. In Texas you must have a managers license to start a company with minimum years of experience and supervisory requirements to apply. then there is state fees and requirements, training and insurance, policies that don't conflict with local police agencies, contracts for private property clients and policies for when you are between contracts on state and county roadways, cars must have security on them with license number, Coordinating with local police chiefs and sheriff is good so they know what you do and where.
  • delane potter said on July 25, 2010
    Conroe Texas. The Texas Department of Private Security and Investigations thru D.P.S. has a state website with licensing information, its the first place to start. each state should have a site that will list all the requirements. You must maintain good records of back ground checks,drug testing and license renewals/continued education and training certificates as well as dept. paperwork for state review. state investigators check this randomly for violations of illegal company operations.
