In Nottingham on Friday 24 January, Security Industry Authority (SIA) investigators and Nottingham Police officers checked 119 door staff working at 29 city centre venues. There was 97.5% compliance with the Private Security Industry Act 2001. Only three individuals were found to be working without SIA licences, and they’ll now be dealt with by the police.
In Chesterfield, of the 44 door supervisors at 18 venues inspected by SIA investigators, only one was found to be unlicensed. The compliance rate was 98%.

Speaking about the latest series of spot checks, Jackie Munn – an SIA head of investigation – told SMT Online: “It’s important for the public to know that they are being protected by trained and qualified door staff. On that basis, this result is reassuring.”
