Stricter licenses for detective and security businesses

Only individuals and corporations can apply for or hold Minnesota private detective or protective agent licenses; partnerships cannot. Corporate applicants' chief executive officer, chief financial officer, qualified representative, and Minnesota manager must meet licensing requirements. Corporations, qualified representatives, and Minnesota managers that operate without a board-issued license face a one-year ban on applying. That year starts when the violation is found. Unlicensed work does not count toward licensing experience.
