Vigilance can report that the Security Industry Authority is calling for views as part of its research into the impact of regulation upon the private security industry in Northern Ireland.
According to a source at the SIA the results will be compared with the findings of the SIA's 2008 survey, which was carried out before regulation was introduced in December 2009.
Vigilance learnt the information will be used to determine how the industry has changed, and to identify any issues to be taken into account as the future of the regulation is discussed and developed.
The research is being gathered through three online surveys:
- Private security employers
- Private security industry employees
- Buyers of private security services
