Before you hire
Construction sites lose an estimated $300M–$1B a year to theft, and an injured trespasser can be a bigger risk than the loss. Here's how to protect a site — guards, patrol, cameras — what it costs, and the attractive-nuisance liability you can't ignore.
Read the construction site security buyer's guidePrivate security in Tennessee is licensed at the state level by the the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance, Private Protective Services program. A legitimate company operating in Johnson City holds a Contract Security Company license, which means it has cleared Tennessee PPS'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 Tennessee, operating without a license is misdemeanor (plus civil penalty) (Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-35-136 (general penalty, Class A misdemeanor); § 62-35-130 (civil penalty up to $2,000 per occurrence); § 62-35-134 (unlawful employments/activities)). Operating a contract or proprietary security company, or working as a guard, without a currently valid PPS license/registration is a Class A misdemeanor, and the Commissioner may separately assess a civil penalty of up to $2,000 per occurrence against the unlicensed operator.
