Dorset security boss fined after found working without an SIA licence23rd December 2009: A former Dorset security director yesterday (22 December) pleaded guilty to supplying unlicensed security operatives, and not holding an SIA licence. Mr Lee, 40, who ran Trade Secret Security, was given a 12 month -conditional discharge for supplying unlicensed door staff. He was also fined £1,000 plus a victim surcharge of £15 and ordered to pay costs of £500 for working without an SIA licence, during a hearing at Bournemouth Crown Court. By law, anyone working as a door supervisor must have and display a valid SIA licence. This means they have passed an approved training qualification and undergone vetting such as criminal record and identity checks. Directors and managers must have at least a non front line licence. During routine checks by Dorset police licensing officers in Bournemouth in May this year, a door supervisor, who had been supplied to one venue by Mr Lee, was found working with an expired SIA licence. The door supervisor later received a police caution. Important Changes to the SIA Training PortfolioThe SIA have undertaken a complete review of the specifications for all roles within the security industry and identified areas of overlap. They have also consulted with the security industry on the content of specifications and made changes in line with the output from this consultation.
