What running guards in New Hampshire actually involves
State Police licenses the industry
New Hampshire licenses security guard agencies and their guards through the Department of Safety, with applications handled by the Division of State Police Permits and Licensing Unit in Concord, under RSA 106-F and the Saf-C 2200 rules.
Licensed before employment
RSA 106-F:3 says no one may become an employee of a security guard agency without first obtaining a license. Each guard gets a photo license card naming the agency, with the photographs taken at state police headquarters.
In-house unarmed guards are outside it
An unarmed security employee who works directly for a business that is not a security agency, protecting its own premises, is excluded (RSA 106-F:4). Contract guard companies are the ones regulated.
A $50,000 surety bond
Licensees file a surety bond of at least $50,000, increased by $50,000 for each additional type of license held, and are responsible for the conduct of the guards they employ, who are covered under that bond (RSA 106-F:9).
Armed guards qualify every year
Armed guards pass a practical pistol or revolver course with a 75 percent minimum score and four hours of instruction on firearms safety and the law on deadly force, on initial licensure and at least once a year after (RSA 106-F:8).
Ten business days to report changes
Licensees report the discharge of a licensed employee and changes in officers or office address within 10 business days, and a guard who moves to another agency reports in person within 10 business days to get a new photo license.
Two-year licenses, weekly overtime
Licenses are valid two years and renewed every two years (RSA 106-F:7). Overtime is owed after 40 hours in any one week under RSA 279:21; there is no daily threshold.
Retail corridors, hospitals and the Seacoast
Shopping centers along the southern tier, hospitals and colleges, manufacturing in the Merrimack Valley, and the Portsmouth Seacoast with its port and seasonal events shape most rosters between Nashua, Manchester and Concord.

The accounts New Hampshire guard companies hold
New Hampshire questions, answered plainly
Who needs a New Hampshire security guard license? +
Any business furnishing security guards, and every employee of a security guard agency, before employment (RSA 106-F:3). Unarmed guards employed directly by a business that is not a security agency, protecting its own premises, are excluded. Applications go through the State Police Permits and Licensing Unit.
How often do armed guards in New Hampshire requalify? +
At least once a year. RSA 106-F:8 requires a practical pistol or revolver course with a 75 percent minimum score, shotgun or rifle courses if that equipment is issued, and four hours of instruction on firearms safety, deadly force law and ethics, at initial licensure and annually.
Can CGuardPro remind us before licenses and annual qualifications lapse? +
Yes. Each officer record holds the license and qualification dates with a photo of the card, and alerts warn the office on a window you choose, from 7 to 120 days ahead. It warns rather than blocks, and it does not verify anything with the State Police.
Does New Hampshire have daily overtime? +
No. Under RSA 279:21, overtime is time and a half for hours over 40 in any one week. CGuardPro tracks hours against that weekly threshold.
How is it priced? +
It is $5 per user per month, one plan with every feature, plus an optional one-time implementation package of $299.99. A user is anyone with a login, including client logins. There is a 7-day free trial.
