DEPARTMENT OF COMPLIANCE

Strengthening Accountability Across Louisiana’s Private Security Industry


The Compliance Department promotes lawful, professional, and ethical private security services throughout Louisiana. Through company audits, administrative investigations, instructor observations, and coordinated enforcement, the unit works to ensure that private security companies, security officers, and instructors meet the standards established by Louisiana law and LSBPSE rules.


Established in 2024, the Compliance Department supports both public protection and industry improvement. Its work is designed not only to identify violations, but also to clarify expectations, encourage corrective action, strengthen the quality of private security services, and build public trust through transparency and accountability.

We encourage the business community and the public to report compliance issues involving a security company or a security guard. All tips will remain anonymous and will be thoroughly and fairly investigated. To report compliance issues, please call 225-272-2310 or email us at tipline@lsbpse.com.


Together, we can ensure a higher standard of private security services and maintain public trust in our industry.
