Read the loss prevention & retail security 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 Gary 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.
Gary scores 10/100 on our Crime Index (grade F), which makes it safer than 2% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 67,197.
