So too for signs on vehicles. Doing so violates the Occupations Code.

Chas.
That was my understanding also. When my church had discussions about a security team, I told them that they could not display any insignia, or badges ( even small pins similar to the pins worn by ushers and greeters) that used the word security, unless they wanted to either become a licensed agency, or hire one. Our security, is simply LTC holders, who are placed in strategic locations. All strictly volunteers.
We have no signage, and do not discourage LTC holders from carrying.
My church uses off-duty LEO for security. They wear blue polo shirts saying "Emergency Response" with no other insignia on them. The medical responder shirts are red and also say Emergency Response with no other insignia. We are posted 30.07. LOTS of members carry though.
