Security guards must now be trained
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29: All security guards will now need to be trained and registered after a bill was passed in the Senate today.
The Private Investigators and Security Guards Amendment Act 2011
Before the law was passed, security guards didn’t need to be trained or registered meaning anyone could have been a security guard.
Senator Michael Dunkley suggested UK or US standards be put into place to create fairness across the board.
He also said he supported the legislation and safety was the important issue.
The Commissioner of Police will be in charge of certifying the programmes and the security guards.
The bill was passed without objection.[[In-content Ad]]
