What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Delaware licenses security alarm and protective services agencies through the Department of Safety and Homeland Security (Delaware State Police) under Title 24, Chapter 12, §1211. A $10,000 surety bond is a condition of the license, approved as to form by the Department and written by a surety authorized in Delaware.
The bond is conditioned for the faithful and honest conduct of the business. It's a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State (the obligee). If the agency conducts business dishonestly or violates the law that governs it, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to $10,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Agencies that run an honest book treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
