Which of the following is a consequence of not renewing a security officer's license on time?

Not renewing a security officer's license on time leads to a loss of ability to work as a security officer because licensure is a legal requirement for performing security duties in many jurisdictions, including Washington, D.C. A security officer must hold a valid license to be eligible for employment in that role. When the license expires, the officer cannot legally perform their duties until it is renewed.

This situation underscores the importance of keeping track of licensing dates and ensuring that renewals are completed in a timely manner. The consequence of being unable to work can further impact an officer’s career, potentially leading to a lapse in employment and related financial concerns. Other choices, like increased pay or promotion, are not directly linked to the status of license renewal and are therefore unrelated to the consequences of failing to renew on time.
