Meet our winner!We fight for smart regulation, fair and open markets, safer workers, and client partnerships built on trust and quality. Gaining recognition for the foundational role security plays in society has never been more crucial—and so, too, is meeting that responsibility. Security touches the lives of millions of people across the world, and everyone has the right to live and work in a safe society. The challenge to security firms across the world is to live up to its increasing responsibilities and the even higher expectations of the public. While different markets have unique challenges, it has never been more important to communicate across the industry to discuss risks and to advance conditions that will help protect society from the security challenges of today.
We partner with leading security organizations around the world and forge alliances to help drive higher ethical and professional standards in the private security services industry. The global security industry connects with many different groups that have the ability to influence or impact how the industry operates. The security industry must act in harmony with all of its key stakeholders to achieve its goals and to provide a safe and secure environment for all. It is important that the industry takes a proactive approach to understanding the needs of its customers, employees, insurers, police, governments, regulators, and the media—and build strong relationships with all of them.
We conduct on-going research, experience-exchange forums, and data collection among members to address industry challenges, make our workers safer, and meet the evolving security needs of society. Not only is the demand for security services and products increasing, it is also changing—and becoming both specialized and differentiated. What was once a need for a single service or product has now become a search for complete, innovative, security solutions. We constantly endeavor to keep pace with the changing demands of the market and ensure our people have the skills to keep pace—even in a fast-changing world.
We deliver practical tools and resources to help the global community effectively meet emerging threats. Through the Ligue, the leading security companies of the world make resources freely available, designed to save users' time, improve strategy, and answer questions. We also acknowledge the reciprocal nature of this relationship, and that to add value to our clients, we must understand their business objectives and requirements and deliver tailored security solutions. While the security industry must demonstrate expertise in designing security solutions, we must also expand our knowledge and understanding of their markets and the business challenges they face to ensure that a chosen security approach adds real value to the customer.
The private security industry is a part of everyday life around the globe. However, despite its ubiquity, the capabilities, quality of training, and the value of private security services often go unrecognized.
