Before you hire
A guide to fire watch: when it's required by code (NFPA 25 impaired sprinklers, OSHA and NFPA 51B hot work, fire-marshal orders), what a fire watch guard does, what it costs, and how quickly it can deploy.
Read the fire watch services buyer's guidePrivate security in Indiana is licensed at the state level by the the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency, Private Investigator and Security Guard Licensing Board. A legitimate company operating in Anderson holds a Security Guard Agency license, which means it has cleared Indiana PLA'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 Indiana, operating without a license is class a misdemeanor (per unlicensed transaction), plus mandatory disgorgement fine (IC 25-30-1.3-23). Recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally engaging in business as, soliciting/advertising as, or holding out as a security guard agency without a license is a Class A misdemeanor, and the court must additionally fine the offender the full compensation earned in committing the offense — a mandatory disgorgement that can push the total fine above Indiana's normal $10,000 misdemeanor cap; each unlicensed transaction is a separate chargeable offense.
