What must Class A, B, or C licensees or their registered employees do if they operate in a municipal corporation with specific ordinances?

Class A, B, or C licensees, as well as their registered employees, must conform to the local ordinances governing their industry when operating in a municipal corporation. This requirement is critical because local ordinances may impose specific regulations tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of that community, which can include zoning laws, permit requirements, and specific operational guidelines.

These local regulations may address various aspects of security operations, such as noise control, hours of operation, or additional licensing requirements that go beyond state and federal laws. Failing to comply with these local ordinances could result in legal repercussions, including fines, loss of license, or the ability to operate, which can have significant impacts on the business.

Following local ordinances ensures that licensees respect and integrate into the community they serve, maintaining professional standards and reinforcing a positive relationship between security professionals and the public. State law alone does not encompass the entire legal landscape in which a business must operate, particularly in areas where municipalities have the authority to enforce specific rules and regulations.
