Boise, ID — Private Patrol Or Security Service Bond
Boise calls for a $10,000 fiduciary bond for the security-service business, separate from its $500,000 liability-insurance certificate and individual personnel filings. Match The Southern Agency’s company option to the actual City request. The accepted instrument’s covered defaults and claim terms still need confirmation; the City’s amount and certificate instructions do not establish those terms by themselves.

What this bond does
City Code § 3-12-10(A) specifies the $10,000 company filing naming the City before licensing. It distinguishes the $2,500 private-patrol-agent or alarm-installer filing. The company programme covers security patrol, private security and alarm-service/installation businesses; identify the actual licensed business rather than substituting a worker’s individual application.
- Who needs it
- The owner and business applying for Boise’s Security Company license. Personnel licensing is separate, with specific owner/operator and event-security provisions in the Code. A company purchase does not automatically license every employee, nor does every person involved necessarily need a duplicate individual bond.
- Who it protects
- The Code and City application establish a fiduciary instrument naming the City, but they do not state the full accepted condition, covered defaults, beneficiaries or claim procedure reviewed here. Do not assume it pays every security-incident loss. The separately required $500,000 liability insurance addresses specified incident liabilities; it is not the $10,000 bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Can an individual $2,500 filing satisfy the company requirement?
The City distinguishes them: $10,000 for the service and $2,500 for an agent or installer. Match the actual licensed role. The owner/operator provision may avoid an additional individual instrument for that person acting for the same validly licensed service; confirm the circumstances with the City.
Is the $500,000 liability certificate the same as the fiduciary bond?
No. The City lists them separately, and the Code describes the liability policy’s incident coverage. Its coverage language should not be copied as the fiduciary instrument’s condition or treated as proof of what that instrument pays.
What remains to be confirmed before buying?
The City’s actual accepted fiduciary condition, covered defaults, protected parties, claim terms and effective period for this company. The current official sources establish the amount and City designation, but not those full instrument terms. Compare the actual request before continuing.
