Utah security guard software
for contract security companies licensed by DOPL
CGuardPro is security guard management software for Utah contract security companies: scheduling and relief coverage, GPS and selfie clock-in, QR and NFC guard tours, incident reports, visitor logs, DOPL license and continuing-education tracking and a client portal, with guard, supervisor and client apps for iOS and Android. It costs $5 per user per month with a 7-day free trial. DOPL licenses your company and your officers; the software keeps the records behind them.
What running guards in Utah actually involves
DOPL, the professional licensing division
Utah licenses contract security companies and their officers through the Department of Commerce’s Division of Professional Licensing, under the Security Personnel Licensing Act. It is the same division that licenses contractors and nurses, not a police agency.
A qualifying agent with 6,000 hours
Under Utah Code 58-63-302, a contract security company needs a qualifying agent who lives in Utah, works primarily for the company with day-to-day authority, passes an exam and shows 6,000 hours of security management or law enforcement supervisory experience.
One job only for that agent
The statute also bars the qualifying agent from acting for another contract security company or holding other regular employment. Choose that person deliberately: the company license rests on them.
8 hours unarmed, plus 12 for armed
An unarmed private security officer completes a DOPL-approved basic course of at least 8 hours. An armed private security officer completes the same basic course plus a firearms course of at least 12 hours.
Every card expires the same November
DOPL officer licenses expire on November 30 of even-numbered years, and renewal requires 32 hours of continuing education in the two-year cycle. On a large roster, that means one heavy autumn every other year.
Silicon Slopes and distribution
Tech campuses between Salt Lake City and Provo, and the distribution and fulfillment centers along the Wasatch Front, need lobby posts, badge checks and overnight patrols with a record a facilities manager will read.
Ski resorts and national parks
Mountain resorts near Park City and the tourism economy around the southern parks make winter and summer peak seasons, with seasonal staff, long drives to relief officers and hotels that want incident reports the same night.
Hill Air Force Base and the Ogden corridor
Defense contractors, industrial parks and hospitals in the northern Wasatch Front add access-controlled posts, visitor logs and post orders that change with every contract modification.

Utah questions, answered plainly
Who licenses security companies and officers in Utah? +
The Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL) in the Utah Department of Commerce, under the Security Personnel Licensing Act, Utah Code Title 58, Chapter 63. It licenses contract security companies and unarmed, armed and armored car security officers.
What training does a Utah security officer need? +
Under Utah Code 58-63-302, an unarmed officer completes basic training of at least 8 hours, which can be classroom or online; an armed officer also completes firearms training of at least 12 hours. DOPL renewals require 32 hours of continuing education per two-year cycle. Confirm current rules with DOPL.
Our whole roster renews on November 30. How do we not miss it? +
Set the alert window on the license credential, anywhere from 7 to 120 days ahead, and CGuardPro warns the office daily, then weekly, until each card is updated. Because the warnings are per officer, you can see who still owes continuing education hours well before November.
Does Utah have its own overtime law? +
No. The Utah Labor Commission states that Utah has no overtime law; overtime comes from the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, time and a half over 40 hours in the workweek. CGuardPro tracks weekly hours against that threshold before you add another shift.
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.
