The Association of British Investigators (ABI) next seminar runs in London on Friday, September 23, at the Union Jack Club beside Waterloo station. Attenders can get an update on private investigation training and other issues.
The Private Security Authority (PSA) chief executive Paul Scallan, pictured, will discuss the licensing of private sector investigators as recently introduced in the Republic of Ireland. Briefly, the PSA is the statutory body with responsibility for licensing and regulating the private security industry in the Republic; the equivalent of the SIA in the UK.
Later, the former South Wales Police man now trainer and consultant Vince Donovan will provide insight into managing conflict and personal safety.
