Security Industry Authority | Daniel Street, the owner of DCS Security Services, has been convicted for failing to hold the required SIA licence for the role.
Mr. Street pleaded guilty to an offence under Section 3 of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 at a hearing in Leicester Magistrates’ Court.
Mr. Street was given a six-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay a £26 victim surcharge and £150 in costs, totalling £176, within 28 days.
SIA investigators had found Mr. Street working as a security operative at a venue in Leicester in November 2024. He denied that he was working there as security at the time, claiming he was only helping people park. Mr. Street, on behalf of DCS Security Services, denied providing security services at this site.
However, the venue’s management later confirmed that DCS Security Services did in fact have a contract to supply security to the venue.
Mr. Street had been the sole owner of DCS Security Services since July 2019, despite never having held an SIA licence as required by law. As a result, he was summonsed to attend Leicester Magistrates’ Court.
