Are registered employees of licensees required to wear uniforms and badges?

In the context of Ohio's PISGS regulations, while there is no blanket requirement for all registered employees of licensees to wear uniforms, if they choose to wear a uniform, they are required to wear distinguishing patches. This regulation serves to identify individuals as security personnel and ensures that the public can easily recognize them as employees of a licensed security entity.

The requirement for distinguishing patches helps to promote professionalism and accountability within the security industry. These patches can indicate the individual's role or responsibilities, enhancing the visibility of sanctioned security personnel in the community.

The other options present scenarios that either impose unnecessary strictures on security personnel or negate the potential benefits of identifiable marking through patches. Therefore, the correct interpretation balances the need for professional representation with the flexibility of uniformity, emphasizing that if uniforms are worn, they should include distinguishing features.
