🔒 Understanding the Difference: Security License vs. Security Officer Registration Card in South Carolina 🔒

South Carolina Security professionals, let's talk about the "Security License" versus a "Security Officer Registration Card.

🛡️ Security License: This is required for companies that engage in any security business, which includes proprietary and contract security services. Holding a security license means the company has met SLED's requirements to operate and manage security services legally in SC.

🆔 Security Officer Registration Card: This is necessary for INDIVIDUAL SECURITY OFFICERS employed by licensed security companies. The card is proof that the officer is registered with SLED and is authorized to perform security duties under the employment of a LICENSED SECURITY COMPANY.

Remember, individual security officers have a registration card, NOT a license. The license is held by the companies employing these officers.

Stay informed and compliant! 👍

For more info, check out the SLED website SLED.SC. GOV.

Stay safe and keep it professional out there!
