ARC Report Sarre and Prenzler: Private Security and Public Interest April 2011 Page 5EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The overall aim of this project (2007-2010), funded by the Australian Research Council(LP0669518) with additional funding and in-kind support from the Australian Security IndustryAssociation Limited (ASIAL), was to provide the first ever comprehensive study of the legaland regulatory issues, together with policy implications, of the development and growth of the private security industry in Australia over the past three decades.
The research indicates that the security industry in Australia is subject to a significant level of regulation, which has undergone considerable development over the past 15 years, including the involvement of industry associations in some jurisdictions. Despite these advancements, regulation remains inconsistent across different jurisdictions, leaving room for exploitative and unethical practices. This is an unsatisfactory situation. To ensure public and police trust in the industry, the private security sector needs to work harder to present itself as a group of professionals with well-trained and skilled staff who operate with high levels of integrity. Additionally, the industry expects regulators to provide closer monitoring and more effective enforcement of regulations.
The Private Security Industry Act 2001 is set out to protect the public and regulate the security industry through licensing, it introduces business licensing for all regulated security businesses and to monitor the activities of those working in the industry.
