Qualifications for individuals providing private security services

To receive and maintain any license or registration from the board to provide private security services, an individual first must: 1. Be at least eighteen years of age. 2. Be a high school graduate or hold the equivalent of a high school diploma. 3. Have not been convicted or adjudged guilty in any jurisdiction of one of the following offenses or its equivalent in another jurisdiction, including juvenile adjudications that the individual has engaged in similar conduct: any felony; any class A or B misdemeanor involving an act of violence or intimidation as defined in North Dakota Century Code chapters 12.1-16 through 12.1-25 and chapter 12.1-31.2, or involving controlled substances as defined in North Dakota Century Code chapter 19-03.1; any offense involving theft as defined in North Dakota Century Code chapter 12.1-23, including shoplifting; or any other offense that must be reported to the North Dakota bureau of criminal investigation under North Dakota Century Code section 12.1-32-15. This subsection does not prohibit the board from issuing a license or registration to an individual if the board determines the offense does not have a direct bearing upon the individual's ability to provide private security services to the public and the individual has been sufficiently rehabilitated pursuant to the provisions of North Dakota Century Code section 12.1-33-02.1, or a full pardon has been granted. 4. Be free of mental condition or defect that would interfere with the individual's ability to provide services in a professional and competent manner. 5. Have not committed an act that the board determines is indicative of bad moral character and which has a direct bearing on the applicant's ability to serve the public, including offenses other than those listed in subsection 3. The requirements in this section are in addition to any other qualifications established in this chapter. Each individual who is required to meet the qualifications of this section has a continuing duty to notify the board of any conviction or adjudication of guilt of an offense described in subsection 3 within fourteen days of the conviction or adjudication. For individuals who are licensed or registered by the board on May 1, 2000, or who are officers or owners of at least a ten percent interest in a licensed agency on May 1, 2000, this section applies only to convictions or adjudications of guilt which occur after May 1, 2000.
