Permit[edit]
Security Personnel Permit was separated to four types: A, B, C, and
D.
Type A permit holder was permitted to work in a "single-block"
residential building; they are not allowed to carry firearms. No age
limit.
Type B permit holder was permitted to work in any type of
properties, but they also are not allowed carry firearms. The
maximum age limit of this permit is 65.
Type C permit holder was permitted to work as an armed guard.
(Usually, they are members of the cash transport car crew.) The
maximum age limit of this permit is 55.
Type D permit holder was permitted to design, install, and repair
security devices. No maximum age limit.
The permit is valid for five years. All holders must renew their permit
before it expires, or they will lose their qualification to work, as such,
until their permit is renewed.
The type A and Type B security service are gradually combined
with property management service, though the boundary between
these two industries is unclear.
