Study Notes

Private Security and Proprietary Private Investigator Personnel

Licensed private security and proprietary private investigator personnel have police powers limited to the property they have been lawfully assigned to protect.
The Board of Police Commissioners of Kansas City, Missouri has the authority to regulate and license all private security personnel serving or acting as such within Kansas City, Missouri.
The Private Officers Licensing Unit (POLU) was established to carry out statutory duties.

Reporting and Arresting Improperly Licensed Private Security/Proprietary Private Investigator Personnel

An individual can be reported for "Violation of Licensing Process" and arrested for violation of City Ordinance 50-43, "False Impersonation" under certain conditions:
- When an individual has been terminated by their employer or has been the subject of a revocation or suspension order issued by the Board of Police Commissioners and is found to be in possession of license credentials.
- When an individual is acting as private security/proprietary private investigator and does not have the proper license.
A sworn member reporting and/or arresting an individual that has violated the regulations for private security/proprietary private investigator will:
- Complete the appropriate report.
- Include the name of the company employing the individual as private security, an account of the circumstances surrounding the contact, and the description of the uniform being worn.

Verification of Private Security License

The RMS can be used to verify a private security license if an individual claims that they have a license but is unable to produce a valid license card.
Officers who encounter security personnel during a call for service may confirm they are properly licensed by checking their license card and/or running the private security person through the RMS.
