Final Renewal Reminder

February 27, 2026
Dear Members of the Private Security Industry, Again, we would like to remind you that the guard registration renewal period opened on October 1, 2025, and will close on March 1, 2026. To assist you in meeting this deadline, there is a 14-day grace period extending through March 15, 2026. Please note that beginning March 16, 2026, fines of $50.00 per day will be assessed for up to 10 days for any unresolved renewals. We strongly encourage all companies and professionals to complete their renewals well before the absolute deadline of March 15, 2026 to avoid fines and ensure compliance. Our primary goal is to eliminate fines altogether, and we need your cooperation to achieve this. This is the final reminder concerning guard renewals. You only have the 14-day grace period starting on March 2, 2026 and ending on March 15, 2026. If you require assistance or have any questions regarding the renewal process, please do not hesitate to contact the Board at 225.272.2310 or via email at privatesecurityboard@la.gov. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your commitment to maintaining high standards within our industry. Sincerely, Major Carl Saizan (Ret. LSP) Executive Director
