Training

All of our staff are fully trained. We believe in a firm but fair approach to security.

Personnel are trained to be diplomatic and professional at all times when dealing with customers and staff.

This means that you know our staff will try to pre-empt a situation, or if a situation is already in progress will deal with it quickly with the least amount of disturbance in-store as possible.

Diplomacy is built into all our on the job training sessions and we are enjoying a great deal of success with this approach.

What is I.S. 999:2004?

The PSA (Private Security Authority in Ireland) has endorsed the NSAI developed Guarding Security Services Standard I.S.999:2004 as the required standard for licensing of contractors in the door security, security guarding and event security sectors.

The Private Security Authority announced their Licensing Programme for the Private Security Services on 21st July 2005. They declared that certification to the I.S.999:2004 standard for Guarding Security Services is the compulsory standard requirement for all Guarding companies as part of their licensing application.

Alert One Security is one of the few security companies in Ireland to have achieved the I.S.999:2004 standard and be recognised as a professional training body providing I.S.999 qualified security guards.

Advantages of the IS999 certification include:

• Enabling organisations to demonstrate that they control all elements of their operations
• Focusing on continual improvements of service
• Providing a systematic structure for planning, implementing and reviewing security operations

How will the PSA enforce licensing?

The legislation establishing the Private Security Authority creates a number of criminal offences for breach of the legislation. The main offences relate to the provision and use of unlicensed security services. The PSA has stated that it is an offence for a security company or an employee to operate or work without a licence. It is also an offence to employ an unlicensed security company. A person convicted of such an offence is liable to a fine or imprisonment for up to 5 years.
