About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Oklahoma licenses security guards and private investigators through the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET). Under 59 O.S. § 1750.5, the minimum bond is $5,000 for unarmed security guards and self-employed private investigators who employ no other investigators. The bond guarantees you will abide by the provisions of the licensing act.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Oklahoma (the obligee). If a licensee violates the act and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

Armed guards, agencies, and PIs who employ other investigators carry higher coverage — this $5,000 bond is the unarmed, self-employed level. Before the bond can be canceled, the surety must give CLEET at least 10 days' notice, so we track it and notify you ahead of renewal.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Oklahoma security guard / PI bond? +
The premium is $275 — our flat minimum. The minimum bond amount is $5,000 for unarmed guards and self-employed PIs, and 3% of $5,000 is below the $275 minimum, so $275 is the price.
Does this cover armed guards or agencies? +
No — this $5,000 bond is the unarmed, self-employed level under 59 O.S. § 1750.5. Armed personnel, agencies, and PIs who employ other investigators carry higher coverage. Send us your CLEET requirement and we will issue the right amount.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the CLEET license; the surety gives CLEET at least 10 days' notice before any cancellation. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term, and we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
