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 New Jersey is licensed at the state level by the New Jersey State Police, Private Detective Unit (SORA). A legitimate company operating in Freehold holds a Security Officer Company license (SORA), which means it has cleared New Jersey State Police'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 New Jersey, operating without a license is fourth-degree crime (indictable) (N.J.S.A. 45:19A-3 and 45:19A-4). Working as, or performing the functions of, a security officer without SORA registration is a fourth-degree crime (up to 18 months imprisonment, up to $10,000 fine), and a company owner/operator who employs an unregistered officer is separately guilty of a fourth-degree crime per officer employed, with civil penalties of $1,000 (first offense) to $2,500 (subsequent) also recoverable.
