What must happen if a disciplinary action involves evidence of fraud by a license holder?

When disciplinary action involves evidence of fraud by a license holder, it is essential that the action be communicated to the public. Transparency in the handling of fraud cases is crucial for maintaining public trust in the private security industry. By ensuring that such issues are made known, the regulatory body can demonstrate its commitment to ethical standards and accountability. This approach allows the public to be informed about the integrity of those providing security services and helps protect consumers and stakeholders from potential harm posed by fraudulent activities. Transparency can also serve as a deterrent to future misconduct by highlighting that fraudulent behavior will not be tolerated and will be addressed openly.

Keeping evidence of fraud confidential or ignoring it would undermine these principles, while immediate suspension, though serious, may not encompass the full range of necessary public accountability measures. Communicating the actions taken helps to uphold the integrity of the licensing process.
