Licensing Information:
Unarmed Guards: A security guard/officer is an individual employed by a contract security company or proprietary security organization to protect persons and/or property from criminal activity. Tennessee requires unarmed security guards/officers to register with the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance, Private Protective Services Division.
If an individual already maintains an active Armed Guard registration, it is not necessary to also register as an Unarmed guard.
Applicants for Unarmed registration may work while their application is being processed, provided they have paid the application fee and keep a copy of their complete application on their person at all times while working. If the application is denied, the individual may not continue working in this capacity until a new complete application has been submitted and shows as open/processing.
(Note: this pending-work allowance does not apply to Armed applicants, who must wait until they physically receive their registration card before working armed.)
