SIA Information
The Security Industry Authority is the organisation responsible for
regulating the private security industry.
They are an independent body reporting to the Home Secretary,
established in 2003 under the terms of the Private Security Industry
Act 2001. |
Their mission is to help protect society
by collaboratively developing and achieving high standards within the
private security industry. They currently covers England, Wales and
Scotland.
They have two main duties. One is the compulsory licensing of individuals
working in specific sectors of the private security industry; the other is
to manage the Approved Contractor Scheme, which measures private security
companies against a set of independently assessed criteria.
SIA licensing currently covers manned guarding (which includes security
guarding, door supervision, close protection, cash and valuables in
transit, and public space surveillance using CCTV) as well as key holding
and vehicle immobilizing.
Licensing ensures that private security operatives are 'fit and proper'
persons who are properly trained and qualified to do their job.
Our Approved Contractor Scheme introduced a set of operational and
performance standards for companies providing private security services.
Those organizations that meet these standards are awarded Approved
Contractor status. This accreditation provides purchasers of private
security services with independent proof of a contractor's commitment to
quality.
We believe that a professional, regulated private security industry has
the potential to become a valuable member of the extended police family,
helping to reduce crime, disorder and the fear of crime.
