The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has welcomed the government's announcement of new security and crime-reduction roles for Baroness Angela Browning and James Brokenshire MP, citing regulatory and legislative changes as two key areas for further engagement.
These changes follow the resignation of Baroness Pauline Neville-Jones from the post of Minister for Security and Counter-Terrorism, a role that has subsequently been filled with the appointment of James Brokenshire MP. Brokenshire's previous role as Minister for Crime Prevention and Antisocial behaviour reduction will be taken on by Baroness Browning.
“The BSIA has long been at the forefront of improving industry standards and working with key government Ministers, in addition to the Police, Home Office and industry bodies is crucial in our bid to ensure best practice within the private security industry,” said James Kelly, BSIA Chief Executive.
