Seven officers from Land Sheriffs have received nominations for the 2025 instalment of the ACS Pacesetters ‘Security Officer of Distinction’ Awards. A dozen ‘Security Officer of Distinction’ Awards will be handed out at a lunch at the Royal Windsor Racecourse on Wednesday, May 21.
James Coyle, Managing Director of Land Sheriffs, says: “We’re incredibly proud of our officers for receiving seven nominations! This recognition reflects the dedication and commitment our team brings to the job every day. We’re passionate about upholding standards across the industry to ensure our clients benefit from the very best service, so to see our officers acknowledged for going above and beyond is excellent.”
About the ACS
Managed by the regulator the Security Industry Authority (SIA), the Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) is a voluntary quality assurance scheme, mainly for security guarding companies. It assesses companies against a range of criteria. ACS Pacesetters is a group of companies whose ACS score places them in the top 15 per cent of those approved firms.
The awards recognise people who have gone above and beyond to deliver a service. Land Sheriffs’ officers have been nominated for their work on railways and at rail stations across the UK, including in Norwich and Hertford. Officers made life-saving interventions, tackling anti-social behaviour and providing medical support where required to help protect and secure clients, their staff, infrastructure and the public.
“Our nominated officers have been credited for their compassion, commitment, quick thinking and high skill levels – but above all, their professionalism. Whether it’s carrying out a life-saving intervention or diffusing a volatile situation, our teams consistently show an unwavering commitment to public safety and client reassurance, even in very challenging and often unpredictable environments” adds James.

James adds: “These awards recognise the best of the best, so having seven members of our team nominated is a testament to the quality and skill of our security officers. It reflects the high standards we uphold across the business and the exceptional level of service our clients can expect.
“We’re looking forward to the ceremony and to celebrating the achievements of our nominated officers, alongside others who represent the very best in the industry. Whatever the result, they’ve already made us incredibly proud!”
