If a guard's expiration date does not match the BSIS website, what action should the PPO take?

If a guard's expiration date does not match the information on the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) website, the appropriate action for the Private Patrol Operator (PPO) is to contact BSIS. This step is crucial because discrepancies in date can signify issues such as lapses in licensure, which can affect the compliance of the security company and the guard’s ability to perform legally.

By reaching out to BSIS, the PPO can clarify the situation, confirm the correct status of the guard’s license, and determine any necessary steps to rectify the issue. This proactive approach ensures that the security operations remain compliant with state regulations and that all personnel are legally authorized to work in their positions. Furthermore, maintaining communication with the regulatory body helps prevent any potential operational disruptions and upholds the integrity of the security services being provided. Properly validating a guard’s credentials is essential in maintaining the company's reputation and lawful standing.
