Security Industry Authority Licensing Regulations within the Industry

"N/A"

"I agree with the petition"

"what the sia are doing is unrealistic and rediculous to say the least"

"20 years of CP service to be told I now have to spend 3500 on a course that I don't need to take, just another goverment cash collecting machine."

"Obviously ill conceived and poorly executed.Virtually no recognition of prior experience,why in God's name would a barrister allow a dustbinman,sorry,garbage executive,decide how their profession should be regulated!"

"I wonder if the reason that the licences are taking so long could be as simple as this. The computers that the SIA are using is the same ones that the CSA are using, after all the seem to be operating to the same standard of excellence !"

"this needs to be sorted asap"

"Too many of the 'advisors' to the government have a direct interest in the provision of courses for the SIA licence. Jobs for the boys. What happens when a team arrives in the UK with a foreign client? Who regulates them?"

"Not against control and regulation of the PSI, however a specialist area such as CP requires a regulatory body that understands this specialist industry. At present the SIA system is unacceptable and should be reviewed soonest to stop the new licensing sy"

"come on GSI"

"This is why i will never work in the UK ."

"Lets give these SIA a shake"

"please act on the above"

"Fully agree with the statement made."

"Regulation of the industry is long overdue, but the cost of gaining a license really brings home the term 'Rip-off Britain', and the time frame involved is farsical."

"Does the SIA have any idea of the problems they are causing? Not only do they charge an exorberant fee but also do they have no idea of their own regulations and requirements when one contact them!"

"For the SIA not to recognize those without formal CP qualifications yet have worked in hostile environments i.e. Iraq is unacceptable. If you want us to be professional at our level, and we are; then set an example!"

"none"

"No comment"

"A brief synopse of the preceeding mine would suggest Prime minister that this agenda needs to be prioritised and dealt with immediately."

"I fully endorse the of the petition"

"This SIA licensing is crazy, I feel this group is trying dominate the security industry "American Tactics""

"Please let's get a reasonable process going. We need a knowledgable and sympathetic person at the helm of the SIA. Our industry needs regulating. Due to the lack of understanding of our industry and the unreasonable attitude of staff at the SIA, I will no"

"As usual, a government agency making unatainable rules without first looking in to the consequences!!!"
