What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City and County of Denver licenses merchant guard / security guard companies and conditions the license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a conduct and compliance guarantee: it stands behind the company operating within Denver's licensing rules for guard services.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City and County of Denver (the obligee). If a licensed merchant guard company violates the City's guard-licensing rules and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and your merchant guard company license can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
