Security Industry Authority Licensing Regulations within the Industry

"I agree with the regulation os the security industry, however, more time should be given to register, Dec31st 2006 would be more attainable for the SIA."

"I agree that cp's/bg's are regulated by dept"

"I support this petition"

"i fully agree with the petition"

"nil"

"I totally agree with this petition"

"This is an unworkable dead line for licence issue."

"4ytrv"

"I firmly believe in licensing but let us all do it sensibly or some of us will never be able to work in our home country near our families, British security operatives are about the best so let us continue to be so in our own homeland."

"Thank you for listening"

"What a farce! The SIA is causing more problems in the industry than what they are sorting out! They change their won regulations so much that they can't even keep up with everything!"

"Training provided by inexperienced buisnessmen is no way to regulate this industry. Experience must be taken in to account."

"all the above is correct I am now finding it more and more difficult to get jobs in the industry"

"If the SIA intend to be the leading body in the Security Industry then the organisation needs to be restructured. Due to a lack of in depth planning a review of the licensing deadlines for CP operators should be amended."

"Its a disgrace!! To many good operatives are going to be left in the lurch come Mar '06 because of the SIA's incompitence.. It needs dealing with NOW!!!"

"Please concern about this issue. Let the people in this industry do their job and you Mr. Blair please make the right decision where is not place for bueraucracy."

"I agree that many areas of the security industry requires closer scrutiny but the seemingly ad hoc method of approacing the close protection industry leads me to believe that due to the level of inexperience and understanding of the CP industry by SIA emp"
