Chubbuck, ID — Security Guard Or Private Investigator Bond
Chubbuck’s individual security-guard or private-investigator license calls for a $5,000 bond filed with the City Clerk. This is a different applicant from a security business or investigation agency, which has a $10,000 requirement. Use The Southern Agency’s Propeller route with the individual’s City file and actual licensed role ready.

What this bond does
Provide the individual $5,000 security described in City Code §5.24.060(A)(1), executed by a surety authorized in Idaho and filed before license issuance. Keep it active throughout the work; the Code provides for automatic license forfeiture if it expires or terminates.
- Who needs it
- The individual working as a security guard or private investigator within Chubbuck under Chapter 5.24. The chapter distinguishes those individuals from the employing security-guard business or private-investigator agency and contains specific in-house-work exclusions. Identify the actual City licensing category rather than applying the title to every worker.
- Who it protects
- Section 5.24.060 conditions the bond on faithful and honest conduct of the licensed occupation and holding the City harmless from the licensee’s acts. A person injured by the licensee’s wilful, malicious or wrongful act may bring an action for the resulting damage. That right of action is not a promise of automatic payment after an allegation.

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 the employer’s $10,000 business filing replace this individual file?
The Code lists $5,000 for a security guard/private investigator and $10,000 for a security-guard business/private-investigator agency, with separate application categories. Follow the actual individual City file rather than substituting an employer’s identity or amount.
What happens if the bond expires?
Section 5.24.060 says it must remain in full force and provides for automatic forfeiture of the license on expiration or termination. Arrange the accepted continuation/replacement and actual dates; do not assume renewal of another filing keeps this security active.
Does the $5,000 purchase replace public-liability insurance?
No. The same section separately calls for the City Clerk’s liability certificate and its stated limits. The security and certificate serve distinct requirements; the insurance figures are not this bond’s sum.
Does buying it authorize police work or guarantee City approval?
No. Section 5.24.080 grants no police powers or additional arrest powers. The Chief of Police’s application, qualification review and licensing decision remain separate from Propeller.
