Mississippi

Mississippi requires installers of burglar alarms, video surveillance, or access control systems to be licensed. There are the following types of licenses:

• Class A. A Class A license will allow a company to engage in any alarm installation. To obtain a Class A license, a company or individual must have a Mississippi work permit, have proof of liability insurance over $300,000, and workers’ compensation insurance. All employees must pass a background check and not be convicted of a felony, and the company must have at least one employee with a Class B license.

• Class B. Class B licenses are for system technicians and apply to most alarm and surveillance systems. Each Class A license holder must hire a minimum of one Class B license. Candidates must have completed the National Burglar and Fire Alarm Association (NBFAA) Level 2 security alarm training and reside within 150 miles of the office in which they work. You must also pass a background check to obtain a license.
• Class C. Class C licenses are for system installers who have completed the Level 1 Burglar Alarm training course. The system installer must also pass a background check to obtain a license.
• Class D. Class D licenses are required for salespeople. Salespeople must have completed the NBFAA Sales Understanding Alarms course and have a minimum of two years of experience designing and/or selling systems. Salespeople must also pass a background check.
• Class H. Class H licenses are for apprentices. Apprentices, as well as installers, need to pass a background check. This license allows apprentices to work under the supervision of system technicians with a Class B license or system installers with a Class C license.
