What must a licensee do to comply with section 4749.05 of the Revised Code?

To comply with section 4749.05 of the Revised Code, a licensee is required to obtain a branch office license for each branch office. This requirement ensures that each location where business operations are conducted is properly licensed, maintaining regulatory oversight and accountability across all sites. The necessity for individual licenses for each branch helps to ensure that each location adheres to the relevant laws governing security services, which enhances overall public safety and trust in licensed operations.

Branch office licensing also serves to maintain a clear record of where services are being provided, ensuring compliance with local regulations and standards specific to each geographical area. This requirement is critical for ensuring that all offices operated under the primary license are monitored in terms of personnel and service quality.

The other options do not align with the regulatory requirements, as conducting business without additional licenses, submitting only the principal business license, or licensing offices based on employee count does not reflect the need to maintain regulatory compliance for each branch individually. Each branch presents its own operational considerations and legal responsibilities, which is why individual licensing is essential.
