What is the time frame after which a PPO's application for a license is considered 'abandoned'?

Under the California Private Security Services Act, a Private Patrol Operator (PPO) application for a license is deemed 'abandoned' if the applicant fails to complete the necessary steps within one year from the initial filing date. This means that if an applicant does not respond to inquiries or fulfill requirements within that timeframe, the application will be closed, and the applicant would need to start the process over if they wish to apply again. This policy serves to encourage timely completion of applications and to manage the flow of licensing efficiently within the regulatory framework of private security services.
