Under which circumstance can the director of public safety take action against the license of a private investigator or security guard provider?

The director of public safety can take action against the license of a private investigator or security guard provider for any violation or conviction as specified. This encompasses a broad range of offenses that can impact the integrity and professionalism required in the security industry. The ability to take action in response to specific violations ensures that all licensed individuals maintain high standards of conduct and comply with relevant laws and regulations. This mechanism is vital for upholding public trust and safety, as any serious breaches could undermine the effectiveness of security operations or pose risks to the community.

In contrast, the other circumstances mentioned have less direct influence on the qualifications and ethical standards required for licensure. For example, while failure to report a change of address or being inactive for a significant period may present administrative issues, they do not inherently reflect on a person’s ability to perform their duties professionally. Additionally, a disagreement with regulatory changes does not constitute a violation in itself and lacks the legal basis for license action.
