Jobs: Ship Security Officers, OCONUS

   The thing to focus on with this gig is that you must be SSO trained, and medical/ SIA certified.  This is a UK company and unless you have these kinds of credentials, I wouldn’t even bother submitting a resume.  But, they do offer the courses for SSO, SIA, and probably medical as well. (go figure, lol)  Which is cool, and you could knock out a bunch of really necessary courses through this company, if you wanted to get into the maritime security industry. That is not to say that you will get a job with EOS, if you go to their courses, but it will definitely make you more marketable.

   I am not the point of contact or recruiter and go through EOS if you want to apply or learn more about their contracts (current and upcoming).  Also, I am not endorsing the company and I am only putting the information out there for those readers who qualify and are interested in this stuff.  Good luck and let me know how it goes. –Matt

Jobs: Armed Escort, Indian Ocean

   Sounds like an interesting gig if you can get on.  Notice the SIA license requirement, as well as the multi-language deal. I am seeing the SIA being more of requirement for security contracting internationally, and that license would certainly make you more marketable.  Maybe someone from the company can add some more commentary about this job?

   I also like hearing more usage of armed escorts, and this is the way to go in my opinion.  I am not sure how heavily armed these guys will be, but yet again, this is a vast improvement over the other types of gigs where LRADs, water cannons, and bad language are your only defense. –Matt

Industry Talk: Introducing Robin Barratt, and a Critique of the SIA

Filed under: Industry Talk,United Kingdom — Tags: , , — Matt @ 12:33 PM

     For this post, I wanted to introduce a new guest author from across the pond.  Robin Barratt is his name and he is a close protection specialist, author and the founder of the British Bodyguard Association.  I look forward to his future articles about Close Protection and his latest reports about the pulse of the industry in his neck of the woods.  

 

     At the BBA, there are several areas to check out which I think are worth mentioning.  There is a forum with job postings, a magazine called ‘The Circuit’, a blog and a store.  At the store, you can check out some of Robin’s books. There is a subscription fee and/or membership fee for the BBA, but if you are in the business of collecting information about the industry and getting connected, then it should be will be well worth it.  Especially if you are able to make a connection or get a job through the BBA network.

 

    This article below is just a taste of the kind of stuff that Robin covers and if you like that, then his magazine ‘The Circuit’ would be the ticket.  Also, with the membership with the BBA, you get an online newsletter that is a lot like the Blackwater Tactical Newsletter.  Lots of up to date information and he posts the latest jobs. –Head Jundi

 How the Government has failed the British Close Protection Industry

Established in 2003, The Security Industry Authority (SIA) was set up “to raise standards of professionalism and skills within the private security industry and to promote and spread best practice”. It reports directly to the British Government’s Home Office, and its remit is “to help protect society by collaboratively developing and achieving high standards within the private security industry”. However, in my opinion, specifically within the Close Protection sector (as well as the door supervisor area) , it has done just the opposite.
