Private security companies in Florida

Florida licenses private security through the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), Division of Licensing under Chapter 493 — a Class B Security Agency license for guard companies and a Class A license for private-investigation agencies. It is one of the largest and fastest-growing markets in the country, spanning South Florida's finance, tourism and ports, Orlando's theme-park economy, Tampa Bay, and a construction and retirement boom along both coasts.
