About this service
Description
A holder of a security sector business licence must employ one or more managers with a valid licence issued by the National Police Board, authorising them to act as the manager of the holder of a security sector business licence in question. The National Police Board stipulates the number of managers on the basis of the scope of operations subject to a licence, the number and location of places of business, and other such circumstances. The National Police Board also stipulates the managers’ areas of responsibility.
How to use it
Upon submitting a licence application or immediately afterwards, the applicant for or a holder of a security sector business licence must submit an application for a manager licence to the National Police Board. Activities subject to a licence may not commence before the National Police Board has approved a manager for the licence holder. When a manager quits or otherwise stops attending to their duties, an application for the approval of a new manager must be submitted within seven days of the end of the manager's duties. One or more deputy managers can be licensed for a holder of a security sector business licence; the deputies will handle the manager’s duties when the manager is indisposed. The application and licensing procedure is the same as that for a manager. If all the other requirements for the licence are met, a person who has not received manager training can be licensed as a deputy manager for a period of no more than one year (temporary manager), if the manager is permanently or temporarily unable to handle their duties due to an unforeseen reason. Applications for a manager or temporary manager licence are submitted in writing. You can also submit an application via the police e-service. The application must include the following: • applicant's name and address, and personal identification number or date of birth • applicant's business and organisation ID • the name, address and personal identification number or date of birth of the person proposed as the manager or temporary manager • proposed number of managers or temporary managers, and their areas of responsibility and division of duties • proposed period of validity for a temporary manager licence. The following shall be appended to your application: • report on the satisfactory completion of manager training • report on the fulfilment of the special requirements for a holder of a security sector business licence or applicant engaged in security work, if the applicant has not completed manager training • certificate of the person proposed as the manager or temporary manager being employed by the holder of the security sector business licence • consent of the person proposed as the manager or temporary manager • statement on the existence of unforeseen reasons required for a temporary manager licence. The National Police Board may ask the applicant to present additional documentation related to the licence.
