What is the minimum age requirement for an applicant seeking a PPO license?

The minimum age requirement for an individual seeking a Private Patrol Operator (PPO) license in California is 18. This age requirement is set to ensure that applicants have reached a level of maturity and legal responsibility expected for those who will be managing or operating private security services. Applicants must also have the ability to fulfill the necessary legal obligations associated with running a business, including contracts and liability, which are typically established once an individual reaches adulthood at 18. Having this age criterion helps to maintain professionalism and accountability within the private security industry.
