| | completely rewritten in 1986 to include private security guards, alarm contractors, and all registered |
| | employees. Locksmiths were added to the Act in 1995 and Fingerprint Vendors were added in 2007. The |
| | Act covers all aspects of the private investigation and private security industry, including the use of |
| | firearms. The Board is made up of thirteen members appointed by the Secretary, consisting of two |
| | licensed private detectives, three licensed private security contractors, two licensed private alarm |
| | contractors, two licensed locksmiths, one registered employee representative, one fingerprint vendor, and |
| | one public member. The Board is charged with providing expert knowledge and advice on disciplinary |
| | matters and professional performance and conduct. |
