Security System... Do I or Don't I?

Security System... Do I or Don't I?
My 2007 Road King Police didn't come with any key fobs, and the bike starts and runs fine so I don't even know for sure whether it even has a security system or not.
When I turn the ign. key on, a little "key" image at the lower right of the speedo comes on in red for a second or two and then just goes away. Doesn't blink, just comes on with the ign. and then goes away.
Is there a simple way that I can tell if this bike ever had a security system?
I don't even care if it doesn't. I just don't want to be left stranded dead somewhere if it accidently gets activated.
TIA

Red key icon is eaxtly that just a dummy light, if you had security the light would blink when the bike is an the off position.

to be sure you could look under the seat and check the turn signal tip over module get the part number and check it at the dealer, but others said said the red key coming on and going off when ignition is first turned on is normal for a bike without security. Also it can have security without a siren, the siren was an additional option.

Yea, that sounds like what I (don't) have.
The red "key" light never blinks, it just comes on for a moment and then disappears.
I know that there isn't a siren, so my final check will be to verify the turn signal part number.
I did get the original Police Owners Manual with the bike that came with it, and it covers the use of the Security System in detail. That's why I thought it "might" have the option.
In the end, I wouldn't be disappointed not to have it because I'm never really away from the bike except for when it's in my garage.
Thanks guys.
