The applicant must state in the application— the term of the licence being applied for; and if the functions of more than 1 type of security provider are intended to be carried out under the licence—each type of security provider for which the licence is sought. The applicant must also state in the application— if it is for carrying out the functions of a security officer—the category of functions intended to be carried out under the licence; or if it is for carrying out the functions of a security firm—the security firm services intended to be supplied under the licence. If the application is for carrying out the functions of a security firm, the application must include evidence that the applicant is a current member of an approved security industry association. Only an individual may apply for, or be granted, a licence for carrying out the functions of any of the following— a bodyguard; a crowd controller; a private investigator; a security adviser; a security equipment installer; a security officer. The chief executive, by written notice, may request the applicant to give further information or documents relevant to the application within a stated period of at least 28 days. The applicant is taken to have withdrawn the application if, within the stated period, the applicant does not comply with a request under subsection (5) without a reasonable excuse. A requirement mentioned in subsection (2A) is sufficiently made of the applicant if it is made generally of applicants in the approved form or notified on the department’s website. An application for a licence may be considered by the chief executive only if each relevant person for the application is agreeable to having his or her fingerprints taken by the Commissioner under section 27 , unless the Commissioner already holds the relevant person’s fingerprints taken under section 27 . If a regulation prescribes a fee for taking a relevant person’s fingerprints under section 27 , the application must be accompanied by the fee for each relevant person for the application.
