What should a registrant carry while on duty?

A registrant should carry the issued pocket card while on duty because this card serves as proof of the individual's registration and authorization to operate as a security professional under the Texas Department of Public Safety, Private Security Bureau. The pocket card typically contains important identification information, including the registrant's name, registration number, and expiration date. It is a critical document that verifies the individual's credentials and compliance with state regulations, ensuring that they are legally permitted to perform their duties in the security field. Carrying this card helps establish the registrant's authority and credibility while on duty, which is essential in maintaining professionalism within the industry.

While other forms of identification, such as a driver's license or personal ID, may be important for general identification purposes, they do not specifically validate the role of the registrant in the private security profession.
