Criminal History Review
If your application is preliminarily approved, you will undergo a Criminal History Record Background Check.
All applicants for a license issued by the Fire Alarm, Burglar Alarm and Locksmith Advisory Committee are required to submit
to a Criminal History Record Background Check. Please fully complete the enclosed Certication and Authorization form and
return the form with the license application. The form must be completed in its entirety, executed and signed in the presence
of a notary public, and returned to the Advisory Committee ofce with your application for a license. The Committee will then
provide you with instructions on how to obtain ngerprints. Once your ngerprints have been submitted to the Criminal History
Review Unit, a full review will be performed and a determination will be made regarding your eligibility to be licensed.
An application for licensure will not be processed until the results of the Criminal History Record Background Check have been
reviewed by the Committee.
Alarm Licensing Examination
A qualied applicant who has satisfactorily completed the criminal history review will be approved to take an alarm licensing
examination. The applicant will receive an approval letter from the Advisory Committee and a Candidate Information Bulletin
which includes a registration form and instructions about the examination. An applicant must successfully pass all sections of
the examination as a prerequisite to receiving a burglar alarm or re alarm license.
