I was only convicted of a misdemeanor. Can the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) still deny my license?
Yes. A conviction does not have to be a felony for the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services to deny licensure. The nature of the crime, whether it was related to the duties of an alarm company operator, the length of time elapsed since conviction, any evidence of rehabilitation, or mitigating circumstances are all considered when deciding whether or not to deny licensure.
