According to the private security act, who may issue a security officer commission?

The correct answer is that the security officer commission may be issued by the board with the concurrence of the department. This process is established under the regulations governing private security in Texas.

The Private Security Act delineates specific roles and responsibilities for the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Private Security Board. The board is responsible for overseeing the private security industry and ensuring that individuals who are commissioned as security officers meet the required standards. This includes background checks, training, and adherence to state laws regarding security services. The requirement for the concurrence of the department ensures that there is accountability and oversight from a regulatory body that focuses on law enforcement standards.

This process is designed to maintain professional standards within the private security sector, ensuring that individuals who receive a security officer commission are properly vetted and qualified for the duties they will undertake.
