Frequently asked questions

What license do security guards in Columbus need?

Indiana licenses security at the state level through the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (PLA) and its Private Investigator and Security Guard Licensing Board. Rather than issuing a card to each guard, Indiana licenses the agency: a security company holds a Security Guard Agency license (investigative firms hold a Private Investigator Firm license), and officers work as registered, background-checked employees of that licensed agency. There is no separate Columbus guard license — it's state-level through the PLA. Confirm a company's Security Guard Agency license on the Indiana PLA lookup (secure.in.gov / mylicense) before you sign.

What security does Columbus's corporate and manufacturing base need?

Columbus is an outsized manufacturing and engineering center anchored by Cummins' global headquarters. Corporate campuses drive demand for lobby and reception posts, integrated access control, badging, and visitor management, while advanced-manufacturing plants and distribution facilities add industrial site guards and overnight yard patrol. This is a market where disciplined access control and a professional, guest-facing manner matter as much as headcount. Look for a provider licensed through the Indiana PLA with genuine corporate-campus and industrial experience, and confirm adequate insurance for the setting.
