Which of the following is a requirement for the branch manager of the BSIS-licensed branch office?

• A. Must own the branch building
• B. Must be a resident of the city
• C. Must have a separate business name
• D. Must have ACE license

Answer: (D)

The required credential for a BSIS-licensed branch office’s manager is an ACE license. This means the person designated as branch manager must hold a valid Alarm Company Employee (ACE) license, confirming they’re authorized to supervise alarm company employees and operations and to ensure compliance with BSIS rules. The ACE license is issued to individuals, not to the company or the branch building, so owning the building isn’t required. Residency in a particular city isn’t a requirement, and a branch can operate under the same company name without needing a separate business name. The key point is that proper supervision hinges on the manager’s ACE credential, ensuring qualified oversight of branch activities.
