Security Identification Card Project<br />
Union of Security Employees (USE), in collaboration with the<br />
Security Industry Regulatory Department (SIRD), will jointly<br />
issue the standardised identification (ID) card for all screened,<br />
trained and registered private security officers in Singapore. With<br />
an estimated of at least 35,000 (in-house and agency) officers<br />
currently in the industry, the entire ID card issuance exercise<br />
is expected to take more than one year to complete. Security<br />
officers will be notified by SIRD in batches through a letter<br />
to approach <strong>NTUC</strong> Centre to process their ID card application.<br />
The ID card is introduced as part of the Job Re-creation Programme (JRP) to improve the professionalism<br />
and image of the private security industry. As part of our union member benefits, USE will undertake to fully<br />
subsidise the initial card processing fee of $10 as well as future card renewal fees for all USE members for life!<br />

March 2009 to raise $20 million to help needy low-income<br />

Union of Security Employees (USE) with the support of our<br />
unionized companies and members will be contributing to the<br />
fund through canvassing and fund raising events, to support<br />
this good cause.<br />
