What this bond does
The bond backs compliance with Caldwell’s private patrol article, other city ordinances and Idaho statutes. It is the business-security request, distinct from the packet’s separate patrolman amount and liability insurance.
- Who needs it
- Applicants operating a private patrol service in Caldwell and matching the business license application. Employees also have licensing requirements; buying this business bond does not complete their individual licensing.
- Who it protects
- The quoted city provision makes the City of Caldwell the obligee and conditions the bond on compliance with the stated laws. The packet separately asks for liability insurance, so do not treat the bond as blanket insurance for patrol-related injuries.

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 I use the patrolman’s $2,500 figure for the business?
The packet distinguishes patrolman and private patrol service amounts. This is the service-business page; use the City Clerk’s actual business request rather than the smaller individual figure.
Does the checklist’s “Insurance Bond” replace liability insurance?
No. The same checklist separately requires liability insurance, and the city publishes certificate-holder/additional-insured instructions for that evidence.
Are employees licensed automatically by this business bond?
No. The city packet says employees also must be licensed. The business application and bond do not complete an employee’s separate licensing requirements.
