By having this common goal, we have shown not only how professional the security industry has become but that by standing together we are stronger in responding to incidents and more effective. We have also significantly elevated the reputation of security officers with the general public, so that there is a better understanding about the profession and importantly how integral security officers are to the smooth running of our society.
