How to Verify Our License
Three steps. Takes under a minute.
Click the "Verify on BSIS Website" button above.
It opens the California Department of Consumer Affairs license search system. The verification happens on a state-government website, not ours — there's no possibility of doctored results.
Confirm the license details match.
You should see the license number 121577, status Active, license type Private Patrol Operator, and the licensee name Sunset Public Safety Inc. (the legal entity behind the Sunset Safety Agency DBA). Matching the licensee name confirms you're looking at the right record — anyone can claim a license number, only the licensee owns the record.
Note the license expiration date.
Active California PPO licenses must be renewed every two years. The expiration date shown on BSIS is the date by which we must renew to maintain active status. An expired or suspended license is a serious red flag for any security vendor — and BSIS shows status in real time.
Why Licensing Matters
In California, private patrol is regulated by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS). A PPO license is the legal authorization to operate a private patrol company.
Without a valid PPO license, a company cannot legally:
- Dispatch uniformed security officers
- Operate marked patrol vehicles
- Conduct parking enforcement on behalf of property owners
- Coordinate towing under California Vehicle Code §22658
- Issue citations or warnings on private property
Verifying a vendor's license is the fastest way to confirm they exist legally — it protects your operation, insurance position, and enforcement defensibility.
Officer-Level Licensing
Beyond our company PPO #121577, every dispatched officer holds:
- BSIS Guard Card — required for every security officer in California
- BSIS Exposed Firearms Permit (armed officers only) — additional credential for open carry on duty
Officer credentials can be verified through the same BSIS search. Our operations team can provide Guard Card numbers for lookup on request.
