Hire a Qualified Manager for a Private Patrol Operator Business

Hire a Qualified Manager (QM) for Now

By Shaun E. Sundahl, PPO Instructor and Q.M.

This article is for test takers who will be taking the BSIS Qualified Manager’s Exam to run a Private Patrol Operator business. Due to recent inquiries, I am offering QM consulting services to smaller private security businesses.  Since I have been training private security professionals to pass the PPO Exam, I often hear a contract is pending the receipt of a Qualified Manager or Private Patrol Operator license.  Often times, clients who need private security services need services today and will not wait until the professional becomes licensed. No hard working professional should have to give up a potential contract to another Private Patrol Operator. Also, consider it takes BSIS approximately 3-4 months to “hand” you a PPO/QM License. 

Meanwhile, wouldn't it be nice to receive the rewards of a contract while you wait for your PPO License?

Hiring a QM is not for everyone.  My standards are strict, simple, and straight forward:

1.  All terms are in writing.

2.  Complete insurance coverage (liability and worker’s compensation) is required. Also remember, you must pay employment taxes on your employees)

3. A background check will be conducted: No liens, judgments, or Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy.

4. Two references are required.

5. A face-to-face interview is required.

6. Indemnity waiver is required.

7. Compensation is reasonable and negotiable.

8. Must be financially secure and have more than $10,000 cash assets in a business account.

9. After you receive your PPO/Qualified Manager license in 3-4 months, it’s your turn to take over!
