Before you hire
A guide for HOA boards and gated communities: manned gate vs. virtual guard vs. unmanned access, courtesy patrol, CC&R enforcement limits, how security is funded through dues, and how to RFP and vet a licensed provider.
Read the residential & hoa 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 Fort Wayne 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.
Fort Wayne scores 72/100 on our Crime Index (grade C), which makes it safer than 50% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 275,451.
