Security alarm businesses in Delaware are regulated by the State Police's Department of Professional Licensing Section. The state requires these businesses to be licensed, and a part of licensing is to obtain a form of security in the form of a cash bond or a surety bond.

The security guarantees faithful and honest conduct of the business. Delaware House Bill 93, passed in 2017, changed the surety bond amount from $10,000 to a requirement of either a cash deposit or a surety bond in an amount determined by the Professional Licensing Section.

Applicants for a license must provide:

  • Contact information
  • Background information on the business
  • If the applicant is an individual, they must list their place of employment for the past three years, including the length of time at each place of employment
  • State if applicant has been denied a license or permit, or had one suspended or revoked in the security alarm business industry
  • List felony or misdemeanor convictions
  • Surety bond or cash bond

    • Licenses for a security alarm business expire after two years from the date of issuance. A new license is required if there is a change in ownership.
