Current laws fail to reflect the risks security face. We need enhanced legal consequences, to recognise their vital role. I'm calling on the Government to introduce legal protections. Show your support and sign the petition today https://t.co/zi1rCklG8P

Security workers told not to stop thieves for 'insurance purposes' is the biggest threat to shops & the safety of their staff & customers as shoplifters act with impunity. Action is needed, will one of our top 10 security companies buck the trend with a robust approach to theft?

[Daniel Garnham @DGarnhamSIF]

Today I spoke to @BBCSussex about the recent acquittal of 2 security workers who tackled juvenile shoplifters at @superdrug, Chichester. This highlights the struggles our security professionals face on a daily basis. Change is needed and @SIF_trade_union are at the forefront

[Daniel Garnham @DGarnhamSIF]

HEROES - There is no other word to describe the bravery of the #security officers who came to the aid of 2 victims stabbed in #LeicesterSquare . Another example of our security being on scene first and preventing possible fatalities.

[Daniel Garnham @DGarnhamSIF]

@Morrisons any plans to include your security workers in your staff discount scheme? My members at @SIF_trade_union tell me that they are overlooked despite protecting your retail staff and property. Would be a nice gesture

[Daniel Garnham @DGarnhamSIF]

Teachers now get the benefits of @bluelightcard however UK security professionals are still overlooked. Last year I was told that BLC would not be adding any other industries despite our @SIF_trade_union members being first responders and working closely with police. Disappointed

Legislation on crossbows need to change. There have been too many deadly incidents in recent years. An open letter to @YvetteCooperMP @TalkTV @SkyNews @BBCNews @GBNEWS @TheSun @Telegraph @DailyExpressRB @DailyMirror @LBC

[Security Industry Federation Trade Union @SIF_trade_union]

Following the horrifying triple murder of Carol, Louise & Hannah Hunt, our General Secretary Daniel Garnham has written an open letter to @yvettecoopermp, pleading for Crossbows to be an illegal weapon in the UK. Let justice be served.

Shocked by Gavin Plumb's kidnap plot against Holly Willoughby. He doesn't represent the many dedicated security guards in the UK. However, his violent history highlights urgent vetting issues, especially with WhatsApp recruiters offering risky, same-day, cash-in-hand jobs. #SIF

[Daniel Garnham @DGarnhamSIF]

My thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of an @asda Security officer who has died after an incident in the Arbroath store on Sunday evening.
Investigation is ongoing so do not speculate in the comments. @SkyNews @BBCNews @TalkTV @GBNEWS

SHOCKING! Security are wanted for tonight's @AOArena @OfficialPDC event for less than minimum wage, cash in hand. Is this how we treat our public after the 2017 terror attack at the same venue? @MGMBET @SkyNews @TalkTV @BBCNews

UK convicts 1st person for cyber flashing, 15 months jail! This is when an unsolicited explicit image via #Bluetooth or #airdrop is sent & is often referred to as #bluejacking I am currently in Islamabad training the ANF in cybercrime & included a practical on #cyberflashing

[Daniel Garnham @DGarnhamSIF]

Children and worshippers now need security to be safe in the UK. This comes after the @Conservatives announce that MP's will get 31million to ensure their safety. We are fortunate to have world leading security in the UK but this is further strain on our members across the UK

[Talk @TalkTV]

The Prime Minister has announced funding for security guards, CCTV and alarm systems for Jewish schools, synagogues and community centres to combat an "utterly sickening" rise in antisemitism.

[Security Industry Federation Trade Union @SIF_trade_union]

Don't just take our word for it, our members are protected for the first time by a security only trade union and are reaping the rewards of our industry specific expertise.

[Security Industry Federation Trade Union @SIF_trade_union]

The Security Industry Federation is proud to announce that IPSA director and security industry influencer, Satia Rai has joined our board of directors!

[Security Industry Federation Trade Union @SIF_trade_union]

SIF is resolute in its commitment to ensuring the safety of our security professionals. We call for collaboration between security employers, night-time economy leaders, the SIA, and SIF to establish a national policy on intervention at late night venues.

Millions in profits made by UK security companies yet our #security workers struggle on an average of just £11 an hour. How is that right? @LivingWageUK
