Individual merchants and commercial companies are entitled to register the security guard activity in the register of security guard activities (hereinafter - register). There are 4 types of security guard services: - installation of security guard technical systems; - physical security; - technical security; - collection Guard. The security guard merchant shall be registered in the Register and excluded from it by the State Police. Individual merchants and commercial companies may be registered in the Register, if the restrictions for the registration of a security merchant laid down in Section 7 of the Law on Security Guard activities do not apply to them. A security guard merchant may commence the operation of a security guard after registration in the Register and he or she must observe the rights and duties specified in Section 10 of the Law on Guard operation in his or her activities. - institutions, merchants and organisations, which organise the guarding of their objects themselves, shall establish an internal security service for the performance of the security guard activity by recruiting a person who has received a security guard certificate. If more than five security guards have been recruited, registration of the internal security service in the register of operation of the security guard (hereinafter - register) shall be necessary. The Internal Security Service shall be registered in the Register and excluded from it by the State Police. When performing security guard activities, the Internal Security Service is allowed to guard the immovable property, movable property or other values and employees in the ownership, possession or holding of the institution, merchant or organisation that has established it, as well as to ensure internal procedures and security in a protected facility. The Internal Security Service may not provide security guard services.
