SECURITY INDUSTRY AUTHORITY
“ What are the right questions I should ask of the people who I am going to trust with my business assets , staff protection and premises security ? An ACS security supplier will work with you to evaluate your security needs and keep them up to date .”
UK Immigration Enforcement . We prosecute offenders through the criminal courts .
The recent terrorist events in Manchester and London have demonstrated that security personnel are often the people in direct contact with threats as they emerge . These tragic but exceptional events highlight the importance of high quality private security services with well-trained and competent staff .
When you choose a security supplier who is a Security Industry Authority approved contractor , you can be sure that the business you are working with has been independently checked and is one of the top suppliers in the sector .
You can learn more about the benefits of using an Approved Contractor in the SIA booklet : “ What ’ s in it for you ?”
