The Security Industry Authority (SIA)
We are here to help improve the security
industry's image so that the general public – and the
wider business world - have a much clearer understanding of
how the industry is regulated and who is entitled to work in
it.
We also want to make it a better and more
attractive industry in which to be employed – with better
training opportunities, resulting in a recognised award and
a decent career progression.
The SIA is the only authority in England and
Wales dealing with these private security issues and we report
directly to the Home Secretary.

SIA Approved Contractor Scheme
The Private Security Industry Act 2001
requires the SIA to establish a "system of inspection
for providers of security services, under which those organisations
who satisfactorily meet the agreed standards may be registered
as approved, and may advertise themselves as such".
The objective of the SIA's Approved
Contractor scheme is to raise performance standards and to assist
the private security industry in developing new opportunities.
The scheme is voluntary and was developed in consultation with
representatives from across the industry; it only covers those
parts of the industry that are regulated by the SIA and the
Private Security Industry Act.

IAATI
The International Association of Auto
Theft Investigators (IAATI) was formed in 1952 in order to improve
communication and coordination among the growing family of professional
auto theft investigators. It has grown to 3,844 members representing
over 35 countries and includes representatives of law enforcement
agencies, as well as many others with a legitimate interest
in auto theft investigation, prevention and education. We recognize
that, just as law enforcement agencies cannot successfully function
independent of one another, auto theft investigation requires
the active participation of the private sector; therefore, our
membership also includes the insurance industry, automobile
manufacturers, car rental companies and, of course, the National
Insurance Crime Bureau and its sister agencies in Canada and
Europe.
