Our Mission:
CALSAGA is the only industry association in California dedicated to advocating on behalf of the security industry in the Legislature and at the Bureau of Security & Investigative Services (BSIS) to make sure your voice is heard. The organization, which was originally started in 1994, has led efforts over the past several years to bring greater accountability in licensing, training and background screening standards that has made California a national leader in security. From small firms to some of the largest private security companies in the world, our legislative successes are due largely in part to our strength in numbers.
The Mission of the California Association of Licensed Security Agencies, Guards & Associates (CALSAGA) is to: “Raise and improve the quality of service and public perception of the security industry by promoting industry growth and providing information, education, improved standards, legislative and regulatory agency advocacy, money-saving benefits, and personal development.”
As a membership service association, CALSAGA is dedicated to improving the services of the security industry, representing the professional and business interest of Private Patrol Operators, Proprietary Private Security Employers, Private Security Training Facilities, Private Security Trainers and their employees.
