Molly Meacher, chairman of the Security Industry Authority, formally opened manned guarding firm First Security’s training facility.
Managing Director of First Security Jonathan Levine added: "Against a background of heightened terrorist activities, and pressure on limited police resources, First Security officers are being called upon increasingly as a first line of defence for many of our clients. It is vital, therefore, that they are sent out into the field fully equipped with the professional training they need to enable them to do a job to the best of their ability, often in very difficult circumstances. In an increasingly competitive environment, training has also taken on added importance.’
