Before you hire
What a security consultant does: the risk/threat/vulnerability assessment, the ASIS SRA-2024 standard, deliverables, when to hire one, and what security consulting costs.
Read the security consulting buyer's guidePrivate security in Florida is licensed at the state level by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Licensing. A legitimate company operating in Fort Lauderdale holds a Class “B” Security Agency license, which means it has cleared FDACS'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 Florida, operating without a license is first-degree misdemeanor (first offense), escalating to a third-degree felony for a second or subsequent offense (Fla. Stat. § 493.6120). A first violation of Florida's private-security licensing law (operating or being employed as an unlicensed Class B agency or officer) is a first-degree misdemeanor; a second or subsequent violation is a third-degree felony, and FDACS may also seek a civil penalty of up to $10,000, with anyone convicted of a chapter 493 violation ineligible for licensure for five years.
Fort Lauderdale scores 42/100 on our Crime Index (grade E), which makes it safer than 10% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 191,199.
