Do ALL Security guards need an SIA licence?

Or are some exempt?

Liverpool City Council Enforcement Officers acting as security guards at last night's Council meeting, seem to think they are exempt.



I thought that:

Anyone working in the security industry providing contract security services and in limited cases in-house security services would require a Security Industry Authority (SIA) licence.

Difference between in-house and contract security

In-house refers to providing security services with company's own funds, staff and resources as opposed to services being out sourced or contracted out to another company.

Sectors requiring a Security Industry Authority (SIA) licence:

Key holders - under contract
Security Guarding - under contract
Security Consultants - under contract
Door Supervisors - under contract and in-house
Vehicle Immobilising - under contract and in-house

    There are many events that call for an Atlanta security company, like the Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival, where people flock to Georgia's capital to be part of the festivities. Security becomes such an important issue during these events because organizers do not want anyone to get hurt. security companies

    Anyone thinking about getting security guard training must think about some other things first. You need to figure out which type of training you're looking for. Next decide what job you want to have at the end of this. security company website design

    There are around twelve security monitor frames that you will need, for example, post logs, episode reports, and an organization manual. Structures can likewise be found on the web or at your nearby library.
