Letter From the Executive Director- Compliance Unit Alliances

I am pleased to inform you that the newly established Compliance Unit at the Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners (LSBPSE) is making significant strides in its mission to audit all private security companies operational in 2023. The initial progress and findings of these audits have been very encouraging, indicating that the industry, as a whole, is in good standing. 

To further strengthen our compliance efforts and ensure a robust and transparent process, LSBPSE has established strategic partnerships with key state agencies, including the Louisiana State Police Gaming Unit, the State Fire Marshal's Office, and the Alcohol and Tobacco Control (A TC). TI1ese partnerships are critical in enhancing our ability to conduct post-checks at various locations across the state. 

As outlined in Louisiana Revised Statutes 37:3283B, security guards are subject to compliance checks by law enforcement officers. Our partner agencies have agreed to include such checks as part of their routine compliance operations for their respective areas of responsibility. 

Additionally, we consistently remind the business community and the general public to utilize the look-up portal on the website to verify registered security guards and licensed companies. We also encourage them to report any compliance issues through our website involving a security company or security guard. 

The primary goal of our annual audits is to improve the quality of service provided by the private security industry and to build public trust through transparency and accountability. We are committed to working closely with you to ensure these standards are met and maintained. 

Thank you for your continued cooperation and dedication to upholding the standards of our industry.

Sincerely,

Carl Saizan (Ret. LSP Major)

Executive Director

Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners
