Our new Advanced Level 4 Surveillance Course (Managing Surveillance Operations) commences this week. We have nine students including one from Canada, one from Hong Kong and an Invictus Games Athlete. This is a demanding and challenging course . The students will not only be taught foot & mobile surveillance but will have to demonstrate their leadership skills in terms of command & control, team leadership, planning, briefing and debriefing.

In the past, students were nominated to be team leader for the day without official assessment, now they will be assessed on their performance for every command appointment and the only easy day was yesterday...

A few little guidelines when applying for jobs as our work is a little bit about paying attention to detail...

The comments below are borne from my recent request for an RST Operator where emails, photographs and CV’s get sent directly to the client, as I do not have the time to sift them all. I have been quite surprised and it makes me shudder because people purporting to be Bodyguards and capable of looking after a Principal’s interests and well being, find it difficult to follow simple instructions.

If it states in the Ad, email a CV & Photograph, do exactly that.

If it states, ‘do not add to this thread’, do not add to it. You’ve just lost yourself a chance.

Check the Properties box in the MS Word file of your CV and remove the name of the person who’s CV you plagiarised and used as a template.

Put an age on the CV! If I was born in 1962 how old am I? .............. There you go, it took you about 30 seconds to work it out and you are still not sure. If there are 20 CV’s, that’s 10 minutes of someone’s precious time wasted on working out everyone’s DOB. You want to make it easy for yourself, otherwise the CV does not get read past the DOB and canned.

If you say you have attached a CV, then make sure you attach it, especially when the first line of your CV reads, ‘I am a highly motivated, skilled professional with an eye for detail...’

If it asks for a photograph, make sure you are smart and presentable, not on the seafront in a deck chair or appearing like you’ve crawled out from under a bush with a threatening pose.

If you are listing qualifications, list the date and training provider, otherwise it goes in the bin. People have not got time to chase you up to ask, they want to know whether you trained with a reputable CP company or a bunch of ejits. and how long ago.

A lot of this job is about attention to detail... get it right guys. I'm trying to help. If you think the above comments are harsh then train to be a plumber and set up shop in Nidderdale because there's a big demand...

Remember: You do not get a second chance to make a first impression....

The Government recently stated that all Private Investigators will be required to be licenced by the SIA Autumn 2014. [Amednment: now read Spring 2015]

The Level 3 Award for Professional Investigators is based on the SIA specifications for core competency training for Private Investigators.

Licencing for PI’s is still ‘work in progress’ but the government has stated that Private Investigators will have to be licenced by Autumn 2014. [Amednment: now read Spring 2015]. The SIA requirements to obtain a licence are:-

Demonstrate identity
Have a clean criminal record
Have a Level 3 Award in Professional Investigation

Any previous qualifications that are security or investigative related will not be accepted by the SIA. You will still need the Level 3 Award. However, if you feel competent or experienced, you will be permitted to just sit the assesment test. However, the training provider may be required to complete a 'Previous Learning Map', which is a document that evidences your previous experience.

It will cost £220.00 for a licence. £110 if you already have an SIA licence for another sector.

The Level 3 Award has to be accredited by EDI or Qi accrediting bodies. It is a 39 hour training course. Unless you go down the Distance Learning route.

Who Needs a Licence?

This is an excerpt from the SIA website.....

According to the Act you will need an SIA licence if you are involved in any surveillance, inquiries or investigations that are carried out for the purposes of:

obtaining information about a particular person or about the activities or whereabouts of a particular person; or
obtaining information about the circumstances in which, or means by which, property has been lost or damaged.

Anyone involved in providing contracted private investigation services will require a licence. This includes employees, employers, managers, supervisors and directors or partners of private investigation companies. It is unclear if the Home Office will also wish us to regulate 'in-house' private investigations.

Notes:
Now, the above is subject to interpretation and one of the key points is 'contracted private investigation services'. If you are not offering a contracted PI service, you would not need to be licensed (such as a CPO conducting protective surveillance or a store guard following a suspect shoplifter), for which they should be licensed anyway in their own sector.
