SIA Licences are issued subject to certain conditions, which you must agree to and abide by, If you do not we may:

• Issue you with a written warning, which can be taken into account in future licencing or enforcement decisions.

• Revoke or suspend your licence.

• Prosecute you – contravening licence conditions is a criminal offence under Section 9 of the Private Security Industry Act 2001, the maximum penalty for which is six (6) months imprisonment and/or a fine up to the statutory maximum.

Holders of front line licences must:

• Wear the licence where it can be seen at all times when engaging in designated licensable activity (unless you have reported it lost or stolen, or it is in our possession) *

• Tell us and the police as soon as practicable in writing if your licence is lost or stolen.

• Tell us in writing as soon as practicable of any convictions, cautions or warnings, or charges for relevant offences whether committed in the UK or abroad

• Tell us in writing of any changes to your name and address as soon as practicable

• Not deface or change the licence in any way ( Should your licence become damaged, you should advise us and request a replacement)

• Not wear a licence that has been defaced or altered in any way

• Produce the Licence for inspection on the request of any constable, or other person so authorised by the SIA

• Return the licence to us as soon as practicable if you are asked to do so

• Tell us as soon as practicable of any change to your right to remain or work in the UK

*Covert Activity

You do not have to wear your licence where it can be seen, if you can demonstrate that the nature of that conduct on that occasion requires that you should not be immediately identifiable as someone engaging in such conduct. On such occasions you must carry your licence on you and be able to produce it on request. This allows store detectives or close protection operatives to perform licensable activities without the need to be identifiable. This cannot apply to vehicle immobilisers.
I have read and understand the conditions of my SIA Licence and agree to adhere to these laws.
