What is the penalty for failure to display the license number as issued by the department?

The penalty for failing to display the license number as issued by the department is indeed $100. This reflects the regulatory emphasis on maintaining proper identification and accountability within the private security industry. Displaying the license number is crucial for the verification of a security officer’s credentials and ensures compliance with state statutes. By imposing a monetary penalty, the department encourages license holders to adhere to these requirements, thereby promoting professionalism and accountability within the industry.

The penalties are structured to serve as a deterrent against non-compliance, ensuring that all personnel operating in the field are easily identifiable and that their authority can be readily verified by the public and regulatory bodies.
