What type of photographs must a license holder maintain for their employees?

A license holder must maintain recent color photographs of their employees to ensure accurate identification and enhance security protocols. The requirement for color photographs stems from the need for clear visibility of distinguishing features, which is crucial in identifying individuals associated with the security firm. Color images provide more detail and allow for better recognition compared to black and white or other formats.

Maintaining recent photographs also emphasizes the importance of keeping employee records up-to-date, which is vital for operational integrity and compliance with state regulations. This practice helps in verifying the identities of employees, particularly in settings that require a high level of security, such as private security operations.

While other options like black and white photographs, Polaroid photographs, or purely digital formats may have their uses in different contexts, they do not meet the specific requirement for current and effective identification as set forth by the Texas DPS Private Security Bureau.
