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 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.
