Who shall at all times be responsible for ascertaining that his or her employees subject to registration are currently registered or have made proper application for registration?

• A. The BSIS
• B. The licensee
• C. The designated branch office manager
• D. The city

Answer: (B)

The person who owns and operates the alarm business—the licensee—must be the one ensuring all employees who must be registered are either currently registered or have an approved application on file. This responsibility rests with the licensee because they hold the license and are accountable for compliance with BSIS rules. The state agency administers registrations, but it’s the employer who must verify each staff member’s registration status and maintain current records, ensuring that only properly registered personnel perform duties that require registration. A designated branch office manager may help with paperwork, but ultimate responsibility stays with the licensee, not the city or the agency itself. If a staff member’s registration lapses or an application isn’t properly filed, the licensee is the party at risk for violations and penalties.
