What they say
Andy Drane, SIA Deputy Chief Executive said: โI have overall responsibility within the SIA for ensuring compliance with the legal requirements of the Private Security Industry Act 2001. To help achieve that we at the SIA have to work smartly and, punch well above our weight. We do that through an intelligence-led approach, analysing the wide range of information we gather and by developing the intelligence to guide and target our enforcement actions. Iโm pleased to announce our partnership with Crimestoppers, they can offer a 24-7 service, operated by people expert in dealing with anonymous callers and in assessing the source and value of information. This will be reassuring to those who feel the need for a buffer between their supply of information and the SIA.โ
