What constitutes a disqualifying offense leading to license action?

A crime involving moral turpitude is classified as a disqualifying offense that can lead to license action because it reflects a lack of integrity, honesty, or ethical standards deemed unacceptable for professionals in the security industry. Moral turpitude generally encompasses serious crimes that can include theft, fraud, or offenses that are fundamentally contrary to societal morals. When an individual holds a license in a regulated field, particularly in security, their character and conduct are considered vital for maintaining public trust.

In contrast, a minor traffic violation does not usually carry the same weight, as such infractions are often viewed as less significant and do not directly relate to a person's professional competence or ethical standing. Engaging in continuous education is typically viewed positively and is often a requirement for maintaining licensure, as it reflects a commitment to ongoing professional development. Failure to submit reports on time, while potentially problematic, generally does not rise to the level of a disqualifying offense unless it demonstrates a pattern of disregard for professional responsibilities. Therefore, the nature of a crime involving moral turpitude is what primarily warrants disqualifying action against a license.
