PRIVATE SECURITY PERSON
License Description Private security person means any private police, guard or any person who stands watch for security purposes. Private security persons may not begin performing private security services for a private security company until they have received a permit from the Department of Safety and Professional Services. The filing of an application for a permit is not authorization to practice. "Private security person" does not include off-duty law enforcement officers when employed by a person or entity and when such employment has been officially authorized by the officer's law enforcement employment department or agency as an appropriate extension of the officer's function; provided that the law enforcement agency gives the hiring person or entity a written statement concerning who is responsible or liable for the actions of the off-duty law enforcement officer while that person is performing services for the hiring person or entity.
