The Security Industry Authority (SIA) regulates the private security industry in the UK. Understanding SIA licensing helps you make informed decisions when choosing a security provider.
What is SIA Licensing?
SIA licenses are mandatory for individuals working in specific security roles. They demonstrate that the holder has undergone proper training and background checks.
Types of SIA Licenses
Different roles require different licenses: Door Supervision, Security Guard, Close Protection, CCTV Operator, and more. Each has specific training requirements.
The ACS Scheme
The Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) is a voluntary scheme for security companies. Pace Security proudly holds ACS status, demonstrating our commitment to quality and compliance.
Benefits of Licensed Security
Licensed security officers have verified identities, clean criminal records, and proper training. This protects your business and provides peace of mind.
Checking Credentials
You can verify any SIA license on the SIA website. Always ask to see licenses and check they're valid before engaging security services.
