Which bureau is described as being under the supervision of the director and handles security and investigative services within the Department of Consumer Affairs?

• A. Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS)
• B. Bureau of Fire Protection
• C. Bureau of Building Standards
• D. Bureau of Transportation Safety

Answer: (A)

Within the Department of Consumer Affairs, the unit that handles security and investigative services under the director’s supervision is the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. This bureau licenses and regulates private security professionals—such as security guards and private investigators—as well as alarm company operators, and it conducts investigations and enforcement to ensure compliance with applicable laws. The other options align with different focus areas: a Bureau of Fire Protection would deal with fire safety and firefighting matters; a Bureau of Building Standards handles building codes and standards; a Bureau of Transportation Safety focuses on transportation-related safety. So, the bureau that specifically manages security and investigative services is the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services.
