Security Companies in California
California licenses private patrol operators through a state bureau. Start with your city, then check the company's license with BSIS.
How California licensing works
The Bureau of Security and Investigative Services oversees this field. A guard company operates as a private patrol operator, and you can search by name, city, or county on the verify a license page.
