Recent and ongoing changes in legislation relating to the Security Industry
With events moving so fast in the security industry, particularly with the Private Security Industry Act 2001 and its implementation on 20th March 2006, CP Asset Management Ltd are keen to keep up the momentum of providing our customers with up to date information on events in the industry.

Security Industry Authority (SIA)
The SIA is an independent organisation established by the government under the terms of the Private Security Industry Act 2001.

The SIA is responsible for raising the standard of professionalism and the quality of service throughout the security industry. To achieve this the SIA has introduced new licensing requirements for people working in certain sectors of the private security industry in England and Wales.

The new licensing requirements carry the force of law and will help prevent unsuitable or poorly trained people from operating within the private security industry.

The aim is to reassure the public that every person providing private security services is both adequately trained and a fit and proper person for the job.

Penalties for operating without a licence
If you work in a licensable security role, or employ or supply unlicensed security staff, without an SIA licence, the penalties are as follows:

Summary conviction at a Magistrates Court: a maximum penalty of six months’ imprisonment and/or a fine of up to £5,000, or Trial on indictment at the Crown Court: an unlimited fine and/or up to
five years’ imprisonment.

24hr National Control Centre
We operate from a secure category II 24hr Monitoring Station BS5979: (the code of practice for remote centres receiving signals from security systems). A category II Monitoring Station means that everything conforms to strict guidelines, from the thickness of walls to the barring and shuttering of ventilation outlets.

There is a separate communications room with separate air conditioning to keep equipment cool. In the operations room flat-screen technology is used for its low power consumption. There is a dual telephone supply so that if an exchange is lost, the station does not lose the facility to route to a different supplier.

Along similar lines in a separate room there is a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) in case of mains power failure. Further, we have a backup central station that can take over the monitoring in case of an emergency - BS5979 contingency plan.
