| | completely rewritten in 1986 to include private security guards, alarm contractors, and all registered |

| | 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. |
