To Private Security Industry Stakeholders:

We are writing to inform you about the newly improved website for the Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners. We understand the importance of keeping up with the latest technology and making our website as accessible and user-friendly as possible.


We are proud to announce that our new website is now mobile-friendly and compatible with both iPhones and Androids. This means that you will be able to access all the information you need on the go, from anywhere and at any time. Security companies, Instructors, and officers can use the mobile friendly website to access the Image Trend eLicensure Portal for registration. Also, business will have access to validate that the private security company they hire has a current license and the hired security officer working their establishment is registered with the state board.


In addition, we have made our website ADA compliant, including support for braille. This is in line with our commitment to making our services accessible to all, regardless of any disabilities they may have.


We encourage you to visit our website and explore the various features and services that we have to offer. We believe that this new and improved platform will provide a more efficient and effective way for you to access the information and resources you need.


Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.


Sincerely,


Carl Saizan

Letter From the Executive Director: HB 71

April 15, 2026
Dear Industry Partner, We respectfully urge your immediate support for HB 71, filed by Rep. Josh Carlson (District 43, Lafayette Parish), at the request of the LSBPSE, which extends existing civil liability protections for concealed carry permit holders to armed private contract security officers registered with the LSBPSE. The bill passed by the Civil Law & Procedures Committee on Monday, April 13, and is headed to the House floor for a vote within days. Private security officers face real and increasing risks, while insurance costs continue to rise and coverage becomes more difficult to obtain. At the same time, LSBPSE is strengthening the industry through enhanced training standards, continuing education requirements, compliance audits, and increased enforcement partnerships with state agencies, ensuring all personnel are properly trained, vetted, and held accountable. HB 71 supports current efforts by offering reasonable civil liability protection for security guards who act lawfully and within the scope of their duties to protect human life. It does not protect against misconduct; rather, it aligns the protections for trained security professionals with those already provided to private citizens, bringing much-needed legal clarity. Additionally, insurance providers may consider reducing your general liability insurance premiums once this bill becomes law. Your voice is critical right now. Please contact your State Representative and Senator as soon as possible and urge them to support HB 71! Your immediate outreach can make a difference in protecting your business, supporting the industry, and strengthening public safety across Louisiana. Thank you for your commitment to our common goals and continued partnership. Major Carl Saizan (Ret. LSP)  Executive Director
