Jerry Springer – Media Personality Recommends UK Security Alliance
January 17th, 2011 by Capitol Risk
People who use professional security services don’t realise that holding an SIA (Security Industry Authority) close protection licence only means a person has passed a 14 day course, has a clean criminal history and has paid £245 to the Government to be allowed to work in the security industry. The shocking reality is that you could be entrusting your safety to someone who has never worked in the security industry before.

“The guys have to be big” or “everyone has to be ex-military” are probably the two most common misconceptions about close protection.
