This Order designates certain activities of security operatives for the purposes of section 3 of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 ("the 2001 Act"). Section 3(1) of the 2001 Act makes it an offence to engage in licensable conduct except under and in accordance with a licence granted by the Security Industry Authority.
Article 2(2)(a) of this Order designates, for the purposes of section 3 of the 2001 Act, the activities of security operatives engaged in manned guarding (as defined in paragraph 2 of Schedule 2 to the 2001 Act). Previously, the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Designated Activities) (No. 3) Order 2005 ("the 2005 Order") only designated manned guarding activities when they were undertaken on licensed premises of the description contained in paragraph 8 of Schedule 2 to the 2001 Act (persons undertaking such activities on such premises are commonly known as door supervisors).
Article 2(2)(b) and (c) of this Order designates, for the purposes of section 3 of the 2001 Act, the activities of security operatives engaged in the immobilisation of vehicles (as defined in paragraph 3 of Schedule 2 to the 2001 Act) and the restriction and removal of vehicles (as defined in paragraph 3A of Schedule 2 to the 2001 Act). These activities were previously designated by the 2005 Order.
Article 2(2)(d) of this Order designates, for the purposes of section 3 of the 2001 Act, the activities of security operatives engaged in keyholding activities (as defined in paragraph 6 of Schedule 2 to the 2001 Act).
Article 3 of this Order revokes the 2005 Order.
