Frequently asked questions

Do security guards in Berkeley need a California license?

Yes. Officers must hold a BSIS Guard Card and their employer a California Private Patrol Operator (PPO) license; armed guards additionally need a BSIS Exposed Firearm Permit. Given the frequency of events and demonstrations here, confirm the provider's PPO license, insurance and experience with crowd and event work before signing.

How does UC Berkeley shape the security market?

The University of California, Berkeley and its surrounding commercial districts drive demand for campus-adjacent security, retail and storefront coverage and event work. Officers here are public-facing and need strong de-escalation skills, since the university and its events bring large, mixed crowds.
