If you are engaged as a contract security agency operating in Maine, you are required by the Maine Department of Public Safety Gaming and Weapons Section to file a Maine Security Company Bond as a condition of licensure.
A surety bond protects the party requesting the bond, the Obligee, against any financial losses as a result of poor financial decisions, damages, unethical decisions, or a failure to follow state and local laws on the part of you, the Principal. The Maine Security Company Bond holds you accountable for your business decisions.
By possessing a Maine Security Company Bond, you are telling your Obligee that you can be trusted as a Principal and that you stand behind your business decisions.
