Howdy:- I do not work in the United States market but I am close to a number of people who do. In the U.S. security services generally are regulated by each individual state. Some states are wide open - no requirement for licensing or training - other states require licenses, training and formal exams. Are you interested in any particular state, if so please let me know and I can likely give some guidance where you should look for more information. Just a comment about UL - from a security point of view they establish "Standards" but in actual fact standards by themselves do not have the force of law. However, when a standard in referenced in a code or regulation, then because of the reference they are enforceable. Dave
