Can a private patrol operator use a post office box for an address?
I don’t recommend using a P.O. Box as a business address. Potential clients may be dissuaded from contracting with you. Where do they go if they have a concern and they would like to meet you at your office? What if the client wants to look at your operation prior to using your service? A professional looking office goes with the company image.
Yes. The private patrol operator may list a post office box only if mail delivered to the business address is not possible, or if the principal place of business is located at the licensee’s personal residence. This request must be explained in writing. Otherwise, the company must state address by street, number and city. In addition, no licensee shall conduct business from any location other than the location for which a license or branch office registration was issued.
