What happens to a commissioned officer’s commission if their employment is terminated?

When a commissioned officer's employment is terminated, their commission expires immediately. This is a standard protocol designed to ensure that only individuals who are currently employed and authorized to act in a law enforcement capacity maintain their commission status. The immediate expiration prevents any potential misuse of the commission by individuals who are no longer affiliated with a licensed agency.

It's important to recognize that maintaining the integrity of the commissioning process is critical to public safety and trust in the private security industry. Immediate expiration upholds the accountability of commissioned officers and the organizations that employ them.
