Private security in New Jersey is licensed at the state level by the New Jersey State Police, Private Detective Unit (SORA). A legitimate company operating in Jersey City holds a Security Officer Company license (SORA), which means it has cleared New Jersey State Police's ownership, background-check and insurance requirements. Ask for that license number in writing and verify it yourself — a certificate on the wall tells you nothing about current standing, since a license can be suspended or revoked.
Hiring an unlicensed company is a risk you carry. In New Jersey, operating without a license is fourth-degree crime (indictable) (N.J.S.A. 45:19A-3 and 45:19A-4). Working as, or performing the functions of, a security officer without SORA registration is a fourth-degree crime (up to 18 months imprisonment, up to $10,000 fine), and a company owner/operator who employs an unregistered officer is separately guilty of a fourth-degree crime per officer employed, with civil penalties of $1,000 (first offense) to $2,500 (subsequent) also recoverable.
Jersey City scores 62/100 on our Crime Index (grade C), which makes it safer than 28% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 305,249.
