Private Security Company In Berkeley, PD Agency is aware of and values the effort exerted over the last century to establish the industry of private security in Berkeley. There is an interesting fact that we would like to mention regarding the history of private security companies in Berkeley. Most consumers of private security services do not know that the private security industry, as a whole, was not regulated in California until 1915. Before then, people could watch their own property or hire others to watch their interests without much regulation. 

But, in 1915, with the establishment of California Detective Licensing Board, detectives and security guards in the private security industry started finding out about how they can have a formal presence in the state.  They started having a government body that regulates their rights and responsibilities towards the consumers in the private security industry and also towards the public. 

Today, private security companies in California must possess a license from the bureau of security and investigative services in order to perform security guard services in California. Among the licenses that are needed to perform such work is the private patrol operator license, otherwise known as PPO. Interestingly enough, the regulation regarding PPO license for private security companies to do business in Berkeley and all over the state of California, that regulation was not added until 1943. 

So, between 1915 and 1943, private security guards and those performing the jobs of private security were working under the same body as private Investigators. Nowadays, the bureau of security and investigative services issues and regulates tens of licenses related to the private security services industry and other industries as well. 

So, for almost a 100 years, the industry of private security has been regulated and has been improving and developing. At Proactive Defense Agency, we understand the hard work that was performed by law enforcement officers, security guards, private detectives, bodyguards and all individuals who participated in establishing this industry in Berkeley or anywhere in the state of California. We also understand all the investments that consumers have made for closes to a century in order for the industry to continue to develop and form to how we know it today. 

And we, at PD Agency, value all that hard work and all that investment. This is one of the characteristics that set us apart from competition. We want to continue to improve this industry and continue to contribute to it as a form of gratitude to all the generations that helped shape private security companies in Berkeley or in California.
