CCTV Training Northern Ireland

Blue understands and recognises that it is an essential requirement for all employers and their employees involved in the security industry to have attended a professional programme of training and development. Therefore resulting in an accredited and highly recognised qualification that proves they are able to effectively and professionally carry out their role.

SIA Regulation in Northern Ireland
The remit of the Security Industry Authority (SIA) is to be extended to Northern Ireland in 2009, creating a single regulatory scheme for the private security industry throughout the United Kingdom.


The proposal to extend the remit of the SIA to Northern Ireland was put out for public consultation by the Northern Ireland Office in August 2006. The results showed an overwhelming desire within the industry for regulation and that this should be in line with best practice in Great Britain.


The SIA has initiated a project board to manage the delivery of the project, under the Chairmanship of Andy Drane, SIA Deputy Chief Executive. The board includes senior representatives from the Northern Ireland Office and the Police Service of Northern Ireland. There is also a senior observer from the Private Security Authority, which regulates in the Republic of Ireland.
