In the UK, many security roles are licensable activities. Door supervisors and security guards working in the private security industry generally need a licence from the Security Industry Authority (SIA).
A licence shows an officer has completed approved training and passed identity and criminal record checks. It is a legal requirement for the role, so using unlicensed staff puts both you and your venue at risk.
When you hire a security company, ask how it checks licences before deployment. At SME FM, licences are checked before any officer is placed on your site.
