Oklahoma — Unarmed Security Guard/Private Investigator Bond
Before buying an Oklahoma unarmed guard or investigator bond, check whether CLEET needs your own coverage or evidence of agency employment. State law sets a $5,000 minimum for unarmed security guards and self-employed unarmed investigators who employ no other investigators. The Southern Agency’s listing is for that unarmed role, not an agency’s larger liability requirement.

What this bond does
Under 59 O.S. § 1750.5(J), an accepted surety bond allows recovery for actionable injury, loss or damage resulting from the principal’s willful or wrongful acts or omissions. It also protects the State, its agents, officers, and employees from judgments against the principal or insured licensee and is conditioned on faithful, honest business conduct.
- Who needs it
- An unarmed security guard or a self-employed unarmed private investigator matching CLEET’s actual licensing request. A self-employed investigator with no other investigators also needs an investigative-agency license. Hiring investigators or operating a security agency changes the coverage question; the $5,000 individual minimum is not the agency limit.
- Who it protects
- The statutory condition concerns actionable injury, loss or damage and honest conduct. Liability insurance is also addressed in the statute; a bond is not universally the only acceptable evidence. The accepted condition and covered principal matter, and an application or complaint does not establish an automatic claim payment.

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
Does every unarmed employee need to buy this separately?
Do not assume so. CLEET asks for employment or bond/insurance evidence as applicable, and agencies must ensure employee coverage. Establish how the actual employer documents your position before buying a duplicate instrument.
Can $5,000 satisfy my security agency’s requirement?
The individual minimum does not replace agency coverage. CLEET’s agency instructions require $100,000 general liability insurance for security agencies and investigative agencies employing others; a self-employed unarmed investigator with no other investigators has a distinct statutory treatment.
Does the three-year license establish this bond’s term?
No. This purchase option does not label a term. Match the actual accepted effective period and maintain current evidence; follow the statutory 10-day prior written notice rule for modification or cancellation.
