Security Guards and Officers: A Strong and Visible Crime Deterrent
Security Guards and Officers: A Strong and Visible Crime Deterrent
A security guard is seen to privately fulfil a policing function and they vastly outnumber police officers worldwide. Research by The British Home Office found that 52% of people agreed police and local agencies were dealing with anti-social behaviour and crime issues that mattered in their area.
Likewise, security officers are critical for keeping a watchful eye on property and we rely on them for their integrity and judgement.
Adam Turton, Director of Churchill Security says: "It's important that security officers have the correct training and are fully SIA licensed to Security Industry Authority standards, because they are often put in position of trust."
Security Guard and Officer Training
In 2001, the government brought out a new law for Private Security Services' to be fully vetted and regulated, through the Security Industry Authority, or SIA.
Standards put on security companies to apply for this approved contract status (ACS), enabled businesses to be accessed. Employees were to be vetted, accompanied by a whole criteria check.
But Churchill Security goes beyond the British Standard of regulation of five years for vetting staff. They stretch back 10 years, ensuring professional quality for such an important position of trust in society.
The SIA regulation has helped Churchill become an incredible industry and a physical deterrent of crime. Churchill adds value to service through quality training.

UK Security Companies
Security companies vary drastically, in terms of capabilities and services they provide, but without the correct training and professionalism they can be more trouble than good.
Churchill Security Services was founded in 1993 to tackle the stereotypical image of the security guard at the time. The image of many security staff employed around the UK were lazy/unfocussed/ and under qualified to be protecting a company or property, let alone people. The security industry was also not being regulated and was brushed off the shoulder by authorities.
Churchill Security Services was developed to change the way security services were presented and handled, making security a legitimate and essential source for protection by 100%.
