California Creates Unlicensed Activity Action Unit

In an effort to combat phony locksmiths, California has created a specialized unit to track down and prosecute these con artist.

UNLICENSED ACTIVITY ACTION UNIT (UAAU)

In February of 2009, the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services
(BSIS) developed an Unlicensed Activity Action Unit (UAAU) to increase their efforts to curtail unlicensed and unregistered activities of those performing work in the Private Security Industries which include Alarm Companies, Locksmiths, Repossessors, Private Investigators, Private Patrol Companies, Security Guards, and Weapons Training Facilities.

This unit is staffed by experienced enforcement analysts from within BSIS's Enforcement Division. UAAU primary function is to investigate unlicensed and or unregistered activity leads received from the public, licensees and government agencies; as well as conduct sweeps with other law enforcement and governmental agencies.

REPORTING UNLICENSED AND UNREGISTERED ACTIVITY

The Bureau has simplified the reporting process by providing an online activity lead form. The informant may remain anonymous but if there is not enough information provided the Bureau may not be able to pursue. Anonymous activity lead forms will be kept confidential. The activity lead forms are processed according to the date of receipt, priority, and staff availability. You must provide as much detailed information as possible including the location(s) and time(s) of the activity which are extremely important.
