Mississippi Security License

Regulated by Department of Public Safety.

Requirements change often — always confirm the current rules with Department of Public Safety before applying.

Mississippi does not license the private security industry. Mississippi’s armed security guards, however, must hold state credentials. They receive their firearms permits from the Department of Public Safety, or DPS.
