Before you hire
A complete, step-by-step guide to hiring a licensed security guard company in the US: defining needs, verifying license and insurance, checking training (with state-by-state hours), supervision, comparing bids, red flags, and the contract.
Read the security guards 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 West Palm Beach 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.
West Palm Beach scores 64/100 on our Crime Index (grade C), which makes it safer than 31% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 130,449.
