Course Aims
In the UK, the private security industry provides manned, physical and technical systems to help
protect people, premises and property. It can also help prevent and detect crimes and any activities
that could be considered unauthorised as well as offering expertise in monitoring and responding to
safety risks.
This course is an introduction to the private security industry, and the main services it covers. It
discusses the body which regulates the industry, highlights the standards of behaviour expected
from security operatives, and the law as it relates to the industry.
It includes an in-depth look at health and safety issues, the concept of duty of care and examines a
range of emergency situations which security operatives might be involved with. The course also
covers communication skills, including tips for effective radio communication and instructions on
how to use the phonetic alphabet.
