Outcome to the review of ACS published

20 September 2018

The key changes from the latest review of the flagship Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) for private security businesses have been published. The changes will take effect on 1 April 2019.

The ACS was established in 2006 with a stated purpose ‘to protect the public and to maintain and improve standards in the private security industry’. The ACS has undergone a number of reviews but this latest review took a root and branch look at the scheme.

Evidence from the extensive consultation suggested that the SIA did not need to make fundamental changes to the scheme. However, it was clear from the responses there were opportunities to make improvements.

The main benefit of Patrol Manager is that it is all in ‘real-time’, there is no need to visit sites and download patrol data – that information is old news whereas with the information from Patrol Manager we can monitor what the guards are doing at all times and react immediately to any problems.

Our experience with both the platform and the Logosoft team has been by far the best - having used several competitors in the past I can safely say that Logosoft software and customer service are second to none.
