How long after the expiration of a PPO license can the owner continue to engage in PPO business?

The correct answer indicates that an owner can continue to engage in Private Patrol Operator (PPO) business until the license is renewed. This is based on the understanding that, while it is important to renew the license promptly, the California Private Security Services Act allows a grace period during which business operations can continue.

This rule effectively acknowledges that while maintaining licensure is critical for legal and operational purposes, the process of renewal can sometimes take time, and an immediate cessation of business might not be feasible or just. This provides operators some flexibility, ensuring that they aren't caught in a sudden interruption of service because of an expired license, as long as they are in the process of renewal.
