What is the required liability insurance amount for any PPO that uses firearms?

The required liability insurance amount for any Private Patrol Operator (PPO) that uses firearms is set at $1,000,000. This requirement is in place to ensure that security firms have sufficient coverage to protect against potential claims arising from incidents that may occur while they are providing armed security services. The rationale behind the high insurance threshold is to adequately safeguard the interests of the public, employees, and the PPO itself in the event of a firearm-related liability claim.

This significant amount reflects the risks involved in the use of firearms in security operations and the potential for serious incidents. Insurance at this level helps ensure that there are adequate resources available to address legal claims, damages, and other liabilities that could arise from the use of weapons in a security context.
