What the agency bond actually covers
Delaware licenses private investigative agencies and private security agencies through the Board of Examiners within the Delaware State Police, under 24 Del. C. ch. 13. Anyone applying to own or operate one of these agencies must file a surety bond along with a certificate of insurance.
The bond amount is set by the Board. In practice it is commonly $5,000 for a sole proprietor with no employees and $10,000 for other agencies — but the Board sets the figure, so confirm yours on your application. The bond protects anyone harmed by the agency's failure to follow the rules governing investigators and security agencies.
These agency bonds are typically one-year terms, renewed annually by continuation for as long as the agency stays licensed; the surety can cancel on 30 days' written notice to the Board. Enter the amount the Board set and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
