• SECURITY LICENCE

To ensure the safety of industries and persons,
security persons must hold a Security Licence.
The state regulator issues the security licence
to security persons after completing the basic
training and assessment. If security persons are
performing different security tasks like
patrolling, crowd controlling, or acting as a
security consultant then they need a security
licence from the state authority or regulator. In
New South Wales, NSW Police has a authority to
issue the different security licences. But if
you are employed by a person to take care of his
property without the use of weapons then you
dont need a security licence.
