Phased transition to a new regulatory regime
In October 2010, the Government announced a “phased transition to a new regulatory regime” for the private security industry. The Security Industry Authority is currently working with the Government and partners across the security sector to plan how private security in the UK will be regulated in the future.
The new regulation will build on the successes of Security Industry Authority licensing to date and the Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS). There will be no major changes to regulation or the ACS before the Olympic Games 2012.
Currently, the Private Security Industry Act 2001 remains law. It’s a criminal offence for security operatives and those deploying them to work in licensable activities without a valid licence from the Regulator. The Security Industry Authority and its partners continue to ensure that the law is properly enforced.
