About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Boise private patrol bond guarantees

A private patrol agent bond is a conduct guarantee the City of Boise requires before it licenses someone to provide private security or patrol services in the city. The City conditions the license on a fixed $2,500 surety bond filed with the City Clerk.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the City of Boise (the obligee). If you violate the City’s private patrol ordinance or cause harm in the course of licensed patrol work, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to $2,500.

The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. We track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your Boise patrol license never lapses over an expired bond.
