Title XXXII REGULATION OF PROFESSIONS AND OCCUPATIONS
Chapter 493 PRIVATE INVESTIGATIVE, PRIVATE SECURITY, AND REPOSSESSION SERVICES Entire Chapter
SECTION 6100
Legislative intent.
F.S. 493.6100
493.6100 Legislative intent.—The Legislature recognizes that the private security, investigative, and recovery industries are rapidly expanding fields that require regulation to ensure that the interests of the public will be adequately served and protected. The Legislature recognizes that untrained persons, unlicensed persons or businesses, or persons who are not of good moral character engaged in the private security, investigative, and recovery industries are a threat to the welfare of the public if placed in positions of trust. Regulation of licensed and unlicensed persons and businesses engaged in these fields is therefore deemed necessary.
