Chapter 493, Florida Statutes — What It Requires and
Why It Matters
Florida regulates private security under Chapter 493 of the Florida Statutes — one of the most comprehensive security licensing frameworks in the United States. Licensing is administered by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), which maintains a public database of all licensed individuals and agencies in the state.
The framework creates three tiers of licensing relevant to private security:
The Class D Security Officer License is the baseline requirement for any individual working as a security officer in Florida. It requires 40 hours of classroom training covering legal authority, ethics, emergency procedures and communications.
The Class G Statewide Firearm License is required for any security officer who carries a firearm on duty. It requires an additional 28 hours of training — covering legal use of force, firearms safety, defensive tactics and range qualification — and must be renewed on a regular schedule. This is what separates a licensed armed officer from an ordinary security guard.
The Class B Security Agency License is required for any company operating as a security agency in Florida. It is issued to the firm, not just the individual, and requires the agency to maintain compliance across all officers it deploys. License B1400200 is Massive Protective Services’ agency-level credential.
Hiring a security firm that cannot produce all three levels of documentation — agency license, individual officer Class D, individual officer Class G for armed personnel — is a compliance risk and a liability exposure. Every claim Massive Protective Services makes about licensing is verifiable before you sign anything.

Questions Every Client Should Ask Any Security
Firm Before Signing
What is your agency license number?
Every licensed security agency in Florida has a Class B agency license number — publicly verifiable on FDACS. If a firm cannot produce this number immediately, or if the number does not appear in the FDACS database, the firm is operating without a required license.
Are your armed officers Class G licensed?
The Class G Statewide Firearm License is the legal requirement for any security officer carrying a firearm in Florida. An officer without this license is not legally permitted to carry a weapon on duty. Ask to see the license number — and verify it.
Are officers employed by your firm or placed by a staffing agency?
Many security companies in Florida use staffing agency personnel to fill shifts. These officers are not employees of the security firm, may not have been vetted by them and may not meet the same standards. Massive Protective Services employs its own officers — no staffing agency fills, no exceptions.
Can I see the written security plan before deployment?
Professional security firms provide written plans before any officer arrives. If a firm wants to deploy before providing a written scope of work, that is a sign of a staffing operation, not a security firm.
Will the same officer return each shift?
Consistency matters in residential and executive security. A rotating pool of unfamiliar officers defeats the purpose of a security relationship. Ask whether the firm assigns consistent personnel — and what happens when your officer is unavailable.
Do your officers sign NDAs?
For estate, executive and celebrity clients, confidentiality is not optional. Ask whether officers are required to sign non-disclosure agreements covering the engagement, the client’s identity and all security details. At Massive Protective Services, NDAs are standard.
