Professional Security Officer Live set for launch at The Security Event 2023

Tristan Norman, Group director at the Nineteen Group, informed Security Matters: “Launching Professional Security Officer Live demonstrates our commitment to the security industry. It’s a market we know very well. Our research has shown that there’s a genuine demand from our exhibitors, partners and visitors to recognise the critical role that security personnel, operatives and front line professionals play in the security sector.”

Never seen before and long overdue in the eyes of many commentators, Professional Security Officer Live will host major industry brands from the security guarding sector, all of whom will be showcasing the latest products, services, technologies, training and solutions that enable security personnel to perform their duties in protecting people, places and assets.

Supported by a comprehensive free-to-attend conference that will highlight and address key issues within the sector – among them training and certification, career pathways, the skills and talent shortage, standards, health and well-being and physical protection – Professional Security Officer Live is warmly welcomed and supported by leading industry stakeholders including the International Professional Security Association (IPSA), the International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO), Skills for Security, The Security Institute and ASIS UK.

Risk landscape

Satia Rai MSyI, CEO at IPSA, commented: “IPSA is delighted to be part of the Professional Security Officer Live launch at The Security Event 2023. There’s a definite need to attract, train and retain talent in the private security industry in order to address the ever-changing landscape of risk and raise standards within the sector. We’re very pleased the team at the Nineteen Group is leading and driving the changes focused on security’s front line. Security officers are the heartbeat of our industry. IPSA is thrilled to support the launch of Professional Security Officer Live as an event partner.”

Mike Hurst CPP MSyI, director and chair of the Advisory Board at the International Foundation for Protection Officers in the UK and Ireland, observed: “With members and students in 54 countries, IFPO is dedicated to advancing the role of the security officer through education, certification, developing career pathways and supporting mental health and well-being. On that basis, we are delighted to support Professional Security Officer Live and look forward to working with the Nineteen Group on further enhancing what is a vitally important area of the security profession.”
