The British Security Industry Association’s (BSIA’s) flagship event, the British Security Awards, returned to the live stage for the first time since July 2019 to recognize security officers and businesses working to keep people, property, and places professionally protected during the last 18 months.

In an emotional return to the live arena in its 25th year, the British Security Awards, held at the London Marriott Grosvenor Square in front of a sold-out audience, celebrated security excellence with 16 awards presented to security officers and businesses in front of clients and leading industry stakeholders.
The show also featured the Chairman’s Award as well as the SaferCash Bravery Award, which recognized three members of the public for their courage in an armed robbery, and the Police Partnership Initiative Award, which recognized valuable work in reducing ATM crime.
