The security industry in the UK plays a vital role in protecting individuals, businesses, and critical infrastructure from a wide range of threats, including crime, terrorism, and natural disasters. To ensure the quality and effectiveness of security services, a number of regulated businesses operate in this sector.
Some of the regulated businesses in the security industry include:
- Security Guards: Security guards protect people and property from crime and unauthorised entry. They are responsible for patrolling premises, monitoring security systems, and responding to emergencies.
- Security Consultants: Security consultants provide expert advice on security measures to businesses and organisations. They assess security risks, develop security plans, and implement security solutions.
- Security Systems Integrators: Security systems integrators design, install, and maintain security systems, such as alarm systems, CCTV systems, and access control systems.
- Security Trainers: Security trainers provide training to security professionals and the general public. They teach security procedures, self-defense techniques, and emergency response skills.
