What this bond does
Prepare the local financial item in City Code §21-60 for the applicable security-guard service file. The named recipient is the People of the City, not automatically Idaho State Police, the Police Chief or an individual employee. The published section establishes the sum and recipient but does not set out the complete financial condition.
- Who needs it
- A business hired to surveil, monitor or protect private property in Lewiston, within the current security-guard-service definition. The Code excludes from that definition a person hired directly by an individual business to provide security only for that business’s own place; that is not a blanket exemption from every other applicable rule.
- Who it protects
- The $5,000 item forms part of the City licensing file in the name of the People of the City. Obtain the accepted instrument to confirm the covered acts, condition and claim rights before ordering. The sections reviewed do not establish a blanket promise to reimburse clients, all-risk business coverage or a direct payment for every complaint.

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
Is Private Patrol Service the current Code’s class name?
The current article uses security guard service and defines compensated monitoring/protection of private property. Match the actual work to the City file; the catalog title alone does not settle the classification or financial condition.
Does the company’s financial document replace worker checks?
No. Section 21-60 separately lists the company addendum and owner/partner/employee background study forms, with current criminal-history checks at renewal. Those are separate from the $5,000 item.
Does the annual renewal checklist require a new one-year purchase?
The Code lists the financial item again at renewal but does not supply an offered duration for this choice. Use the accepted instrument and actual file dates rather than assuming a new annual product is necessary.
What still needs confirmation before I order?
Obtain the City’s accepted document and complete condition/covered acts, principal, claim rights, execution, and dates. The published section supplies $5,000 and the People of the City recipient, but those details alone are not a complete financial instrument.
