Who is responsible for issuing the final determination in a suspension hearing?

The Director of the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) is responsible for issuing the final determination in a suspension hearing. This authority is established in the framework of California Private Security Services Act, which places the responsibility of licensing and regulation within the jurisdiction of BSIS. The Director oversees compliance with regulations and has the authority to uphold or overturn decisions made concerning the licensure of security personnel. This central role in the administrative process ensures that decisions are consistent, fair, and aligned with state regulations on private security services. By having this system in place, it allows for a streamlined process whereby a licensed authority manages the complexities of suspension hearings, ultimately contributing to maintaining standards within the private security industry.
