Concerns licensing of security officer companies.

This bill would require all security companies in New Jersey, including nonprofit organizations providing security services, to obtain a license from the Superintendent of State Police. It establishes specific qualifications for owners or operators, requiring either five years of law enforcement experience (with no current law enforcement employment) or five years of supervisory experience at a licensed security company. The bill mandates background checks for owners/operators, requires security companies to maintain employee statements, and requires reporting of employee terminations within 48 hours. Violations of these requirements could be punishable as a fourth-degree crime. The bill aims to strengthen oversight of security companies through licensing and verification requirements.
