Chartered Security Professional

The latter included the aspiration 'to become the sole professional organisation representing the security' manager and 'to achieve Chartered status'.

[5] Stuart Lowden, Managing Director of the manned guarding company Wilson James, simultaneously stated that much work had to be done before a chartered scheme for security professionals could become reality.

The Worshipful Company also specified that the Security Institute should manage the Register because they had the administrative procedures and experience to make it work in practice.

[7] The group that planned the establishment of the scheme was led by the Worshipful Company's Master, Don Randall MBE, who was also the head of security at the Bank of England.

The working group also consisted of Mike Bluestone, Peter French MBE, Di Thomas, David Gill and Roy Penrose OBE QPM.

[3] The criteria for joining the Register of Chartered Security Professionals were based on research done by a working party that consisted of Dr Alison Wakefield (University of Portsmouth), Angus Darroch-Warren (Linx International), Garry Evanson (De La Rue), Anders Groenli (Ove Arup & Partners) and Chris Roberts (Association of Security Consultants).
