Level 2 Award for CCTV Operators (Public Space Surveillance) in the Private Security Industry is a pre-requisite for those seeking to work as a CCTV operator in the private security industry (PSI).
Under the terms of the Private Security Industry Act (2001) individuals working in specific sectors of the private security industry must be licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA). One criterion for obtaining a licence is the achievement of a licence-linked qualification. The LASER Level 2 Award for CCTV Operators (Public Space Surveillance) in the Private Security Industry provides full coverage of the competences specified by the SIA and therefore meets its requirements for a licence-linked qualification.
A Public Space Surveillance (CCTV) licence is required when manned guarding activities are carried out through the use of closed circuit television equipment to:
1. watch members of the public or identify particular people
2. guard against disorder or protect people from assault (this includes using CCTV to stop these things from happening or provide information about them if they do happen)
This includes the use of CCTV in these cases to record images that are viewed on non-CCTV equipment, but excludes the use of CCTV solely to identify a trespasser or protect property.
