Do security officers need to report new employees to BSIS?

In the context of the California Private Security Services Act, security officers are not required to report new employees to the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS). The requirement to report primarily pertains to the registration of security guards rather than a blanket reporting of all new hires within a security company.

The BSIS requires that a security guard must be registered and that the employer fulfills their obligation to ensure this registration before the guard is assigned duties. However, there is no stipulation for the employer to report every new employee to BSIS. Instead, the focus lies on maintaining compliance with registration processes for individuals specifically assigned as security personnel.

Thus, while employees must meet certain criteria to work in security roles, the act does not mandate that all new hires—regardless of their status as full-time or part-time—be reported to the BSIS, making the assertion that no reporting is necessary the accurate response.
