This publication developed from an idea in 1985, to record in one document, the national laws for private investigators and security guards. From that time to this, our fifth revision, much has changed, both within the Law Enforcement community and the businesses and agencies involved with these professions. Today, more of us are working on a national basis rather than a state or neighboring state level and the need to know if we can legally operate in those states or who to contact is paramount. More of the regulating states are entering into reciprocal agreements to offer temporary or permanent licenses to individuals who are licensed in their home state to facilitate licensees. These organizations have utilized the information to benchmark their requirements.

In the timeframe from 1987 until present, the original publication has grown from 845 pages to 1400 pages. The format has changed based upon your input to provide:
A quick reference guide for all states for the type of licenses required.
New information has been added regarding the concealed carry firearm licenses.
Hyperlinks to the web site addresses for the licensing entities.
Searchable information by state, page or subject.
Convenient compact disc for text searches.
PDF Data Format so anyone anywhere can open the document using Acrobat Reader.
