If a baton permit is lost or stolen, what is the cost to replace it?

The cost to replace a lost or stolen baton permit is specifically set at $5. This fee is established to provide an affordable option for individuals who need to replace their permit due to unfortunate circumstances. The replacement cost is relatively low to ensure that it does not become a financial burden, which aligns with the intentions of promoting compliance and security within the private security services sector.

The lower cost of $5 facilitates prompt reporting and replacement, encouraging security personnel to maintain current and valid permits, which is vital for regulatory adherence and public safety. Understanding this aspect of the law emphasizes the importance the California Private Security Services Act places on accessibility and compliance for security professionals.
