Victoria State Government – Australia
Overview: A well-trained and regulated private security workforce is critical to protecting and promoting community safety across a wide range of activities. The following quote from a security industry group aptly illustrates this point:
“Private security industry performs an important frontline role in safeguarding the interests of Victorian businesses, government and the broader community. There is a growing reliance by the Victorian community on the services
provided by the security industry, whether protecting crowded places, providing security at sporting events and concerts, hospitals, critical infrastructure, utilities, military bases, licensed premises, shopping centres, ports, airports, courts, cash management and transportation, installing alarms, access control and video surveillance systems, monitoring alarms in accordance with Australian Standards or physical security measures.”
