Affton Licenses Office Hours

[Juanjo Pollreisz]

ThePrivate Security Section is responsible for the processing, training, and licensing of all applicants for security licenses in the City of St. Louis. With the exception of St. Louis Police Officers, all persons performing a security function in the City of St. Louis must be licensed to do so through the Private Security Section. This includes police officers from other jurisdictions who are working in the City of St. Louis.

What type of background check is conducted when I apply for a license?

A complete background check is conducted using your name, date of birth and fingerprints. Information obtained from local police agencies, the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the FBI will be used to determine license eligibility. A felony conviction will automatically disqualify anyone from obtaining a license.

As a security officer, may I make an arrest?

Security officers have the power to arrest and detain in incidents occurring on company property. These powers are in effect only while on duty and on the premises you are paid to protect.

Do all security officers wear a uniform?

NO. As determined by the employer, some security officers are licensed in a uniform-exempt capacity and are not required to wear a uniform.

How many licenses may one person hold?

A person may hold a license for any number of employers as long as a letter from each employer requests it and the proper fees are paid. A separate license is issued for each company. When licensed and working for any given company, the appropriate license/ID card must be displayed on the uniform.

How long is a license valid?

Licensed security personnel are issued a badge/identification card which must be carried/displayed while security duties are being performed. A license is good for one year and it must be renewed annually.

May I work on an expired license?

NO. Working on an expired license or no license subjects you to arrest and booking. Companies or agencies that knowingly employ someone without a license subjects them to a fine and/or liability in a civil action.

What are the requirements if I want to open my own contract security business?

Generally, St. Louis City ordinance requires that persons wanting to establish their own security contract business have a minimum of two years experience in the security field, either as a licensed officer or supervisor/manager. Requirements for establishing a company can be found in a link at the end of this section.
