Oregon DPSST Private Security Entity Wage Payment Bond
Overview
Running a private security company in Oregon means meeting wage payment standards set by the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST). This bond — the Oregon DPSST Private Security Entity Wage Payment Bond — backs your obligation to pay your security personnel what they are owed. If wages go unpaid, the bond gives your employees a financial remedy. DPSST requires it as a condition of operating a licensed private security entity in the state.
Who Needs This Bond?
Security guard companies, private patrol operators, and alarm response firms licensed — or seeking licensure — under DPSST as private security entities need this bond. If you employ security personnel in Oregon and are in the process of obtaining or renewing your private security entity license, DPSST will require this bond before your license is issued. It applies to any business entity, not just sole proprietors, that holds or applies for a DPSST private security entity registration.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the employees of your private security entity by guaranteeing their wages will be paid. You, as the licensed private security entity, are the principal. DPSST is the obligee, overseeing the requirement on behalf of the state. If your company fails to pay wages owed to security workers, a claim can be made against this bond to recover those unpaid amounts.
When is it Required?
DPSST requests this bond during the application or renewal process for your private security entity license. Before your license is approved and issued, you must submit proof of this bond to DPSST. Missing or lapsed bond coverage will prevent your license from being granted or continued — so timing your bond purchase to your application submission is critical.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Oregon requirement enforced by the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training. It applies wherever your private security entity operates within the state. There is no local county or city equivalent — DPSST administers the requirement for all of Oregon.
