Answer
Is Price Protection licensed?
By Price Protection SecurityReviewed TX DPS Lic #B09430601
Short answer
Yes. Price Protection Security holds Texas Department of Public Safety security company license number B09430601, a Class B security services contractor license under Occupations Code chapter 1702. Every officer on a Price Protection post holds a Level II registration or a Level III commission tied to that license, and armed officers are state-certified. The number is in the footer of every page so you can check it.
The license and what it means
A Class B license is what the state issues to a company that provides guard services for hire. To hold it, Price Protection employs a licensed manager who passed the state’s examination, runs Department of Public Safety fingerprint background checks on every officer before they work, uses approved training and keeps the records, carries the insurance the statute requires, displays the number on vehicles and advertising and reports certain events to the department. The license can be suspended or revoked for failing those duties, which is why it is worth checking and why the company puts the number where you can see it.
The officers
Unarmed officers hold a Level II non-commissioned registration after the 30-hour course; armed officers hold a Level III commission after the 45-hour course with firearms proficiency. Both are tied to the company license, so an officer on a Price Protection post is registered to Price Protection and not to some other company. Officers assigned to personal protection hold the Level IV endorsement. All complete company training in security protocols, customer service, incident reporting, first aid and fire safety on top of the state course.
The affiliations shown on the site
Price Protection displays five marks: the Texas Department of Public Safety, the City of Houston Minority Business Enterprise program, the Texas Statewide HUB program, the City of Houston Office of Business Opportunity and the Houston Apartment Association. They are shown on the licensing page as the company shows them; questions about what a certification allows in a procurement are for the certifying program.
Check it yourself
Open the Department of Public Safety’s public license search for private security, enter B09430601 or the company name, and confirm the name, the class and the active status. Ask for the registration or commission number of any officer who will be a fixture on your property and check that too. The verification answer walks through it.
