HOW TO OBTAIN A SECURITY OFFICER LICENSE IN MICHIGAN
In Michigan, security guards and security guard agencies are regulated under the Private Security Business and Security Alarms Act and must be licensed by the Department of Labor and Economic Growth (DELEG), Bureau of Commercial Services. According to the Act, a private security guard--also known as a security officer--is defined as an individual or employee of a business who offers services for hire in order to provide protection of another persons' personal or business property. Security guards are issued a contractor license and are considered the license holder for a licensed security guard agency.
