International Professional Security Association (IPSA)

It’s been an “eventful” few weeks for us 3V Recruitment. All rounded off with the International Professional Security Association (IPSA) event last Thursday at Meta offices. A wonderful day - a massive thank you to International Professional Security Association (IPSA) Satia Rai F.ISRM DIR.IPSA and all the speakers and attendees 😊 3V Recruitment was honoured to a part of it all and proud to have been a key sponsor. Honouring arguably the most important people within the sector. It’s called the front line for a reason and unless you have been there, you truly cannot understand what it takes.  Day in, day out, - Dedicated, Diligent Dependable, Determined. Always there to Deter, Detect, Delay and Defend. The honour is ours. Thank you 🙏 A few pics of 3V Recruitment for the scrapbook 😍 #IPSA #frontline #honour #thankyou #3V

🌍 International Day of Persons with Disabilities: 3rd December 🌍 At IPSA, we are marking International Day of Persons with Disabilities by shining a spotlight on the need for greater inclusion of individuals with disabilities in frontline roles. Frontline security officers play a critical role in keeping our communities safe, and it's essential that the industry reflects the diversity of the people it serves—including those with disabilities. It’s time to open up more conversations about how we can make the frontline more accessible, inclusive, and supportive for individuals with disabilities. This includes ensuring that workplaces are equipped with the necessary tools, accommodations, and support systems to empower every individual to thrive in their role. By creating inclusive work environments, we not only provide more opportunities for people with disabilities but also enrich the industry with diverse perspectives and talents. Let’s work together to break down barriers and make the frontline a place where everyone has the opportunity to contribute and succeed. #IDPD #InclusionMatters #DisabilityAwareness #FrontlineInclusion #IPSA #AccessibilityForAll #EmpoweringEveryone

My personal thoughts!! On Thursday at 8:20 am, I found myself seated by the canal in King's Cross, taking in the joyful expressions of those passing by, including the area's security officers. In such moments, I ponder and believe that it's individuals like myself who contribute to making the world a better place. Then to be attending the International Professional Security Association (IPSA) event at Meta was an enlightening experience. It paid tribute to those who have lost their lives and acknowledged the hard work of industry professionals, followed by discussions with five individuals eager to learn more about exploitation and its related topics. Despite my phone dying as I left the event, I would describe the entire day as fantastic, and it broadened my perspective on the extensive work that remains to be done. Satia Rai F.ISRM DIR.IPSA, continue the excellent work!

This week, I had the honor of joining the inaugural Hall of Fame Awards organised by International Professional Security Association (IPSA). The event highlighted the exceptional efforts of those working on the frontlines of the security sector. One of the standout moments was an engaging talk by Nazir Afzal OBE , who shared his experiences as Chief Prosecutor and addressed critical issues surrounding violence against women and girls (PVAWG). Grateful to Satia Rai F.ISRM DIR.IPSA for extending the invitation and making this event a success. As always Thank you Tim Mann MBE

Yesterday, the Security Industry Federation Trade Union team had the privilege of attending the International Professional Security Association (IPSA) inaugural frontline awards ceremony, hosted at Meta. It was a day that highlighted the very best of the security profession. The event paid a powerful tribute to the security professionals who have given their lives in the line of duty, celebrating their courage and the selflessness of those who work tirelessly to protect us all. Moments like these remind us of the critical role the industry plays in ensuring public safety. One of the standout moments was hearing Nazir Afzal OBE speak about the collective moral responsibility to stand against injustice. His words were a profound reminder of how acts of solidarity, compassion, and belief can transform lives. It was an emotional and inspiring afternoon, leaving us with renewed pride in the profession and a stronger determination to support and advocate for those who dedicate themselves to keeping others safe.

Excellent afternoon at the IPSA security event at Kings Cross today, some really interesting topics discussed but more importantly a celebration and award of our front line officers who have excelled in their roles, of which one of our own was a recipient. Noreen was recognised for her valuable contribution to the business, in particular at our college sites and for her work during COVID. Extremely well deserved and whilst we recognise the immense contribution of all our officers, it’s fantastic that she was given this award Even for someone that’s only been with Aegis for 8 or so months now, it makes me very proud so I can only imagine what this does for all of the Aegis team that have worked with her for many years now Well done Noreen 👏👏👏 Aegis Support Services Qadeer Qureshi M.IPSA Tariq Khalil MSyl Karen YounesSatia Rai F.ISRM DIR.IPSA
