SECURITY INDUSTRY
AUTHORITY (SIA) UNITED KINGDOM
SIA - UNITED KINGDOM
Times are changing for the security industry. Since spring 2002
work has been underway in converting the Private Security Industry Act to
reality. The Act created the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and provides
solid foundations for introducing fundamental change – creating a security
industry that is healthier and more successful, able to pursue new market
opportunities, respected and proud of its reputation.
One of the main aims of the SIA is to increase the public trust
and confidence in the Private Security Industry by setting and maintaining
standards of probity and improving the professionalism and opportunities for all
those who work in the industry.
This means that customers can expect a higher quality of
security officer. All individuals will be required to hold a license to operate
– it will be a criminal offence not to do so. Licenses will have three
underpinning criteria – criminality, identity verification and competency.
Standards will be consistent across the country and independently assessed. This
is an enormous investment by the industry with considerable government support.
