74% of Albuquerque Security Companies are Unlicensed!

December 18, 2010- Albuquerque, NM-  Seventy Four percent (74%) of security companies advertising in the Albuquerque area are unlicensed!  These are companies who applied for and received a Cit of Albuquerque Business License.  This fact would seem to indicate that the companies were in in the business of security and wanted some type of paper to show customers that they were legitimate.

It is a travesty that the state allows this conduct and has a licensing board that collects fees from the legitimate security companies in the market.  In fact, this Private Investigator and Polygraph Board regulates over 10,000 licensed security offices, for whom they take yearly licensing fee of $35 and and additional $400 per company, per license.  For these fees the NM State government gives our industry 1.4 employees and no enforcement.  Under this administration the actions of this Board have been deplorable, in my opinion.

My company, its employees and myself have donated over $4500 to the state of New Mexico this year for licensing fees.  What have we got in return?  Nothing.

Why should the public care?  Behind every unlicensed security company there are several employees if not dozens.  Behind that are unknown numbers of security guards who have not gone through the required FBI background check required to work in this industry.  Some of these unlicensed guards have proven to be felons who are actually carrying firearms in the past!

Don't continue wasting your time Rob. The RLD will never change its ways. The PI Board is crooked as a stick in water and will probably always be that way unless you get on that board.. Then they would have to get rid of a bunch of others so things could get done. Not one of those sonsofbitches is with a f... Thanks for all you do anyway.
