CCTV
Systems: Who Needs Training and Who needs a Licence?
The Security Industry regulated by the Security Industry
Authority (SIA) and certain security sectors and
security personnel now need to be licensed as a
mandatory requirement. This includes contracted Security
Officers and CCTV Operators who are required to be
licenced, part of that licensing is proof of competency.
This can only be achieved by undertaking nationally
recognised and accredited training from an approved
Training provider, to the National standards set by the
SIA for each section of the Industry.
Introduction
The SIA recognises that it is essential for all CCTV
Public Space Surveillance (PSS) operators to have
undergone a structured programme of training and
education resulting in recognised qualifications if they
are to be effective and professional in their role.
Increasingly, industry stakeholders also recognise that
the individuals who work to provide a safe and secure
environment must have a broad range of skills and a
clear understanding of their role. As the scope and
importance of CCTV PSS operations continue to grow, so
the degree of professionalism expected from CCTV PSS
operational staff will increase.
In the same vein, Security Officers, Retail, Static and
Patrol Officers are included in the licensing
requirement.
The SIA approach to licensing the CCTV Operator
The SIA consulted with CCTV operators, employers and
those who purchase their services. It quickly became
evident that a clear distinction should be made between
a security guard who is required to monitor fixed CCTV
cameras on private property and a public space CCTV PSS
operator who is required to operate the cameras to
provide real time security surveillance, to support and
assist the police and emergency services as required and
to record and present evidence. As a result of the
consultation the following definitions have been derived
to apply to the SIA licensing process and for those who
operate CCTV for:
1. Public Space Surveillance operators
2. Private Property
operators
1) Public Space Surveillance:
Any person 'contracted' to operate CCTV PSS equipment
which is either deployed into fixed positions or has a
pan, tilt and zoom capability which enables the operator
to:
* Pro-actively monitor the activities of members of the
public whether they are in public areas or on private
property
* Use cameras to focus on the activities of particular
people either by controlling or directing cameras at an
individual's activities
* Use cameras to look out for particular individuals
* Use recorded CCTV PSS images to find things out about
people such as identifying a criminal or a witness or
activities of employees
these people will be classed as a CCTV PSS Operator and
require an SIA Licence.
1.1)
'Contracted' PSS Operators
There are two types of contracted operator
a) Any person using CCTV equipment that forms part of a
PSS CCTV system who is not employed by the owner of the
CCTV equipment will be classed as a 'contracted'
employee. Those operators employed by the owner of the
system will be classed as 'In house' operatives.
AND
b) Any 'In house' employee who monitors the whole or any
part of a CCTV system that is owned by another or where
a monitoring charge is made to the owner of that system
or part of that system, will then become a 'contracted'
employee for the purposes of SIA licensing.
These persons will all be required to obtain a CCTV PSS
Operator licence and will be defined as CCTV PSS
Operators
1.2) 'In
house' CCTV PSS Operators
Those persons not included in the above definitions of
'Contracted' employees who operate a CCTV PSS system
will not require an SIA licence under the Private
Security Act 2001 at this time.
However the 'In house' section of the CCTV Monitoring
Industry is of the opinion that they should all work
towards licensing for all CCTV PSS system staff to
establish and support National Standards for the whole
Industry.
2)
Private property CCTV operators
Any person who monitors cameras as part of their wider
security duties solely to identify intruders onto a
site, or for the protection of vehicles or buildings but
does not specifically monitor the public who may enter
that property other than to guard against damage to or
theft from property and premises.
This person will require a Security Operations licence
and will be defined as a Security Officer.
