Before you hire
How to plan event security: how many guards you need by crowd size and risk, what event security costs per hour, a city-by-city guide to permit and security requirements in the biggest US metros, and a planning checklist.
Read the event security buyer's guidePrivate security in Florida is licensed at the state level by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Licensing. A legitimate company operating in West Palm Beach holds a Class “B” Security Agency license, which means it has cleared FDACS'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 Florida, operating without a license is first-degree misdemeanor (first offense), escalating to a third-degree felony for a second or subsequent offense (Fla. Stat. § 493.6120). A first violation of Florida's private-security licensing law (operating or being employed as an unlicensed Class B agency or officer) is a first-degree misdemeanor; a second or subsequent violation is a third-degree felony, and FDACS may also seek a civil penalty of up to $10,000, with anyone convicted of a chapter 493 violation ineligible for licensure for five years.
West Palm Beach scores 64/100 on our Crime Index (grade C), which makes it safer than 31% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 130,449.
