Legislative intent

The Legislature recognizes that the private security,

investigative, and recovery industries are rapidly expanding

fields that require regulation to ensure that the interests of

the public will be adequately served and protected. The

Legislature recognizes that untrained persons, unlicensed

persons or businesses, or persons who are not of good

moral character engaged in the private security,

investigative, and recovery industries are a threat to the

welfare of the public if placed in positions of trust.

Regulation of licensed and unlicensed persons and

businesses engaged in these fields is therefore deemed

necessary.
