We are dedicated to promoting the integrity and professionalism of the private security industry in Louisiana, and to working with industry stakeholders to continually improve the quality and effectiveness of private security services.


Vision Statement

The Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners envisions a future where all private security professionals in the state are highly trained, knowledgeable, and ethical, and where the public can trust and rely on the services provided by the private security industry. As a regulatory agency, we strive to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and excellence in the industry, and to ensure that all private security professionals are held to the same standards of accountability and professionalism. Our ultimate goal is to enhance the safety and security of our citizens and communities of Louisiana, and to be a leader in the field of private security regulation and oversight.

OUR COMMITTMENT TO EXCELLENCE

In 2021, the agency took a step forward in ensuring statewide compliance as the Board voted to create a Field Compliance Inspector division, that will be under the supervision of the Compliance and Investigations Section. Field Compliance Inspectors conduct checks, investigations, and compliance inspections in the field based on possible issues agency staff notes in their daily work or on tips sent or called in. We encourage everyone, industry-based or the public, to notify us if they see compliance or safety issues with security guards they encounter. Tips can be anonymous and all tips will be investigated fairly and with due diligence. Call (225) 272-2310 or email tipline@lspbse.com. If there is anything you need help with, do not hesitate to contact us. Agency staff are always ready and willing to help you with any questions, issues, or concerns you may have.
