What a directory can honestly promise.

Plenty of sites in this space imply they've vetted everyone on them. We haven't, and saying so plainly is more useful to you than a badge that means nothing.

What we ask of everyone listed

Accuracy

That service history, dates, rank, and separation status are stated truthfully, and that licensing claims are current.

Lawful work only

That listings do not offer anything requiring police authority, or anything unlawful in the jurisdiction where it would happen.

Independence

That everyone listed understands they operate independently and carry their own licensing and insurance.

Removal on cause

We remove listings for misrepresentation, or for conduct that would have ended a law enforcement career.

What we do not do

We don't background-check

We do not run criminal history, confirm service records with departments, or contact references.

We don't verify licences

We do not confirm state licensing or insurance. Ask for it and check it with the issuing authority.

We don't recommend anyone

Appearing here is not an endorsement and implies nothing about quality or suitability.

Licensing, plainly stated

Security and investigative licensing in the United States is a patchwork. Some states licence individual guards and agencies separately; some require armed endorsements with their own training and range qualification; some licence investigators through an entirely different body. Requirements also change.

What that means practically: a retired officer is not automatically licensed to do private security or investigative work. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either uninformed or hoping you are. Officers should confirm their own state's requirements, and employers should verify them before hiring.

Reporting a problem

If a listing is inaccurate, or something went wrong with someone you found here, tell us. We can't arbitrate a dispute, but we can act on a listing. Contact us.
