What kind of offenses does the board consider as potentially disqualifying under the guidelines?

The board considers felonies and misdemeanors as potentially disqualifying under the guidelines because these offenses indicate a significant breach of law that may reflect on an individual's character and judgment. Such criminal records raise concerns about an individual's reliability, trustworthiness, and moral fitness to perform duties associated with private security. The severity of felonies, in particular, can include serious crimes that the board views as directly impacting a person's ability to work in a field that requires a high level of integrity and responsibility.

In this context, while traffic violations and minor infractions may indicate poor judgment or carelessness, they typically do not carry the same weight as felonies or misdemeanors when assessing suitability for licensure in the private security industry. Therefore, the board focuses on more serious offenses that could potentially compromise public safety and the integrity of security operations.
