FlashlightNOW is committed to creating a marketplace where only legitimate companies do business. Maintaining this standard preserves the integrity of the marketplace and promotes the important services provided by qualified professionals.
Companies that create an account must attest to and then maintain the following:
- Meet all applicable business, credentials, qualifications, and licensing requirements set forth in the state and jurisdiction in which the company is registered and/or in which it will provide services.
- Agree to follow all federal, state, and local jurisdictional laws and regulations as they relate to the delivery of all security, training and consulting, private investigative, and executive/close protection services.
- Follow all mandated requirements in the respective jurisdiction in which the company operates as it relates to the hiring, onboarding, and training of personnel. Where applicable, this includes, but is not limited to, conducting pre-employment criminal and civil background checks, drug screenings, fingerprinting, and pre-assignment and refresher trainings.
- Comply with mandated regulations in your jurisdiction regarding being bonded and insured.
Agree that if they and/or their company are no longer able to attest to meeting these requirements, and any others as required by law, and guidelines created by FlashlightNOW, will immediately cease using the FlashlightNOW and FlashlightNOW On Demand platforms and immediately notify FlashlightNOW of non-compliance.
Additional requirements for the providers of security, private Investigative and executive/close protection services:
- Each state has different statutory requirements that providers of these services must meet to obtain and maintain licensure. Only providers that met all required state statutes, regulations, and/or local regulations where these services are delivered can do business on FlashlightNOW.
- FlashlightNOW verifies that required licenses are valid during the account creation process, and then performs periodic verification audits to ensure statutory compliance. Failure to maintain a valid license will result in a provider’s suspension or removal from the FlashlightNOW marketplace. Allegations of gross or illegal misconduct will result in an immediate account suspension and referral to the state’s governing board. Repeated, valid customer complaints may also result in the suspension and/or revocation of account.
