International Security Officers Day

Happy International Security Officers’ Day!

The 24th July was chosen as it’s 24/7, which is the hours that security are working.

There are more than 420,000 licenced security operatives in the UK alone, all working to the common goal of keeping people safe.

Security officers have a combination of roles with many responsibilities and you will often find them when you visit:

🏟️ Sportsgrounds
🏫 Universities
🎪 Festivals
✈️ Airports
🍺 Nightlife
🎵 Concerts
🚉 Railways stations
🎦 Cinemas
🏥 Hospitals
🏬 Shops & Supermarkets
🎭 Theatres

They make sure we follow the rules, and whether we like it or not, they do an essential job that is not often easy. On this day, it is crucial to appreciate all security officers’ who spend their day keeping us safe.

The theme is #BehindTheBadge as we highlight the commitment, professionalism, courage, dedication and bravery shown every day.

We see you. We respect you. We thank you.
