FOREWORDDear RecipientPRIVATE SECURITY INDUSTRY: FURTHER PROPOSALS TOREGULATE THE INDUSTRYSince the Private Security Industry Act 2001 was passed the Home Office has been workingwith the Security Industry Authority to develop policies, structures and procedures under whichthe Authority will regulate the private security industry. The SIA was formally established as anon-departmental public body on 1 April 2003 and is responsible to the Home Secretary for itsperformance.The SIA, under its Chairman Peter Hermitage and its Chief Executive John Saunders, hasworked with a wide range of stakeholders to develop proposals for a regulatory scheme for thekey industry sectors to be regulated. Following the introduction of licensing for doorsupervisors, which had effect from March 2004 (on a regional roll-out), the Government hasdecided that regulation should now be extended to the manned guarding and keyholderssector. The Home Secretary is keen to ensure that the proposals are fully available tointerested stakeholders for consideration and comment. The regulatory impact assessment(RIA) document “Partial Regulatory Impact Assessment November 2004: Regulations toImplement the Private Security Industry Act 2001 in Respect of Manned Guards andKeyholders” provided the opportunity for interested parties to respond with their views.The consultation followed the Code of Practice on Consultation which can be seen atAppendix 1.
