Illinois FAQs
Who licenses security guards in Illinois?
Guard licensing in Illinois is handled through IDFPR Private Detective and Security Act. MerlynOps stores each officer's licence number and expiry, alerts before lapse, and blocks assignment to posts that require a credential the officer no longer holds.
Does MerlynOps support multi-city operations across Illinois?
Yes. Run Chicago, Aurora, Naperville, Rockford and every other market from one workspace, with per-site posts, per-client billing rates and a live map of active units across the state.
Can we prove patrols to Illinois clients and insurers?
Every checkpoint scan carries a GPS-stamped, time-stamped record, and every incident narrative is written from officer notes with the original capture time preserved. Clients see their own site evidence in the portal.
