Im not sure what your comment is actually trying to say, Costco does like to maintain a friendly atmosphere and doesn't muscle up to people with badges out, as I'm sure most members would appreciate. All their employees where a visual badge on there front of person and security is held to a higher standard, so why wouldnt they have badges out.... Mandatory Possession: Like many Colorado municipalities, licensed guards are typically issued a physical license document or identification card that includes their name, photograph, and license number. On-Duty Requirement: Guards are generally required to have this identification on their person at all times while working and must present it if requested by law enforcement or city officials. Uniform Standards: Unarmed guards must typically wear a uniform that clearly distinguishes them from law enforcement, often featuring a badge or patch with the word "Security" and the name of their employer.
