What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oklahoma's Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET) licenses security guards and private investigators under the Oklahoma Security Guard and Private Investigator Act (59 O.S. §1750.1 et seq.). When a license is armed — guard, investigator, or a combination — the holder must file a $10,000 surety bond.
The bond is conditioned on the licensee conducting business faithfully and honestly as the law requires, protecting members of the public harmed by misconduct by an armed guard or investigator. Unarmed licensees do not carry this bond — it attaches specifically to the armed authority to carry a firearm on duty.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond carries a 10-day cancellation notice to CLEET. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your armed license never lapses.
