In random visits to licensed premises around the Digbeth festival, 11 doormen were checked, and all held valid SIA licences.
Investigators also checked wheel-clamping sites and found three operatives working legally with SIA licences.
Sharon Roberts, an SIA head of investigation, said: “I was pleased with the very positive outcome and would like to thank our enforcement partners for working with us.
“Birmingham’s Saint Patrick’s Parade is the third largest in the world, which attracts thousands of people. It is therefore vital that security operatives working in positions of trust carry out their duties legally by holding valid SIA licences.”
Stowmarket success
There was more compliance in Stowmarket. Three licensed premises in Stowmarket were visited by the Security Industry Authority, Suffolk Constabulary and a representative from Stowmarket Town Council.
Of the 15 door staff checked, all held valid SIA licences.
The SIA’s Jackie Munn said: “I am pleased with the results from this operation. The SIA Door Supervisor licence ensures that there is a chain of responsibility and accountability.
“It is the manager’s responsibility to ensure that the security company they use only supply SIA licensed door staff.
“Doormen must ensure that when on duty they hold valid SIA licences, which should be displayed whilst working.”
