Under PSISA, loss prevention specialists are considered to be what?

Security guards and do not require a PI license
Private investigators and require a specialized license
Municipal law enforcement
None of the above

The correct answer is: Security guards and do not require a PI license

Under PSISA, loss prevention specialists fall under the category of security guards and thus, do not require a PI (private investigator) license. This is because their primary role is to prevent and reduce theft, rather than to conduct investigations. Option B is incorrect because although private investigators require a specialized license, it is not necessary for loss prevention specialists. Option C is incorrect because municipal law enforcement refers to individuals employed by the local government, such as police officers, and not private security personnel like loss prevention specialists. Option D is also incorrect because as mentioned before, loss prevention specialists do fall under a specific category and require a different type of license.
