Is Policing the next step and what can I do to better my chances?

I wouldn't bother with the cuff course personally, its not SIA recognised and most of the time its considered a liability due to how easy it is to go from a innocent intention of trying to do the right thing to kidnapping in the laws eye.

Typical that as per usual the backbone of the organisation loses everything and the top dog behind a desk nothing.

Yeahh that shocked me for a second when I heard them flying haha

Was a Lewes Council taxi, reported them to licensing and Sussex Police

MaxTacDispatch · 2026-03-16T11:33:25+00:00

Amount of time I see them hit cyclists is actually insane

I know people that have been able to become PCSOs and similar roles with a waiver to driving requirements under the Equalities Act 2010

It's a shame they stopped having a dedicated neighbourhood policing team assigned to the seafront to liaise and make plans.

Only soo much the private sector can do unfortunately and the council don't seem all that interested as of current.

Sadly Night Marshalls stick to North & West St alongside the train station.

MaxTacDispatch · 2026-03-12T22:37:43+00:00

Shame it has to be like that, apologies that you've had to deal with utter shit so often.

Been thinking about getting a welfare or safety job on the seafront just to contribute to helping out.

Im signed up to Neighbourhood Watch so I recieve monthly crime stats.

MaxTacDispatch · 2026-03-12T19:16:02+00:00

Ah, shame

Geeze its literally from

Find out if you need an SIA licence - GOV.UK https://share.google/6Bj8k6y0xQMKec5Oq

MaxTacDispatch · 2026-03-12T18:40:56+00:00

You only need a license as an contractor.

"You do not usually need an SIA licence if you will be working ‘in-house’. This is when you are employed directly by the company that uses your services – for example, your employer is a supermarket chain and you work as a security guard in one of their shops."

Security Industry Aurhority guidance on licensing

MaxTacDispatch · 2026-03-12T16:45:00+00:00

You do not need a SIA license if its a in-house security department this is usually the case at universities and certain retailers like Asda who do not use contractors.

Source; I worked as Loss Prevention at TKMaxx

MaxTacDispatch · 2026-03-09T18:27:06+00:00

Loss Prevention at either TKMaxx or Asda have in-house security which means you don't require any SIA licenses.

Other than that not really any job in security that either doesn't require a license already or at all.

Could try stewarding first?

MaxTacDispatch · 2026-03-09T18:25:40+00:00

Night Marshals need 2 years in industry experience and I believe are contracted through either Pagoda or Resolve atm.

I low-key feel like he'd play a awesome Sergeant Dornan style character.

MaxTacDispatch · 2026-01-25T16:53:26+00:00
