What is the required insurance total for a PPO with an armed employee?

A Private Patrol Operator (PPO) with an armed employee is required to carry a specific amount of liability insurance as mandated by California Law. The requirement for the insurance total is set at $1,000,000. This amount is in place to ensure that there is sufficient coverage in the event of any liability arising from the actions of the armed security personnel. The higher insurance requirement reflects the increased risk associated with armed security services, providing a financial safety net for the operator and the public.

Having an insurance amount at this level not only helps protect the PPO against lawsuits or claims that may arise from incidents involving armed employees but also instills confidence in clients and the community regarding the professionalism and safety measures taken by the security service provider.
