SIA investigation into the Brixton O2 Academy security provider

Published 20 January 2023

1. Request

Please can the SIA confirm they’re investigating AP Security with regards to the Brixton incident?

I did make a report against AP Security via the SIA website but I have no confirmation my report was received?

2. Response

The SIA does hold the information you have requested. The answers to your questions are provided below:

  1. In respect of AP Security, the SIA is working with the Metropolitan Police to assist them with their investigation. The SIA cannot comment further on this.

  2. In respect of the intelligence report you have made, the SIA will review what you have told us and act on it where we can. We may contact you to ask for further information, however, we will only do this if you consented to us doing so and provided your contact details. We cannot give you details on the action we take and this is partly for data protection reasons. It is also because telling you how we use the information you gave us could restrict our ability to take enforcement action.
