What is an SIA licence?

One of the main duties of the Security Industry Authority (SIA) is the compulsory licensing of individuals working in specific sectors of the private security industry.

The SIA licence is key to the regulation of the security industry.

Licensing ensures that private security operatives are properly trained and qualified to do their jobs.  You can ask any NSI approved company operative to show you their licence if it is not clearly visible, when they are working on your premises.
