SIA licence holders in the Hemel Hempstead area

Published 24 January 2023

1. Request

Our solutions Director is doing some recruitment/retention research in the Hemel Hempstead area. One of the questions is how many people residing in the Hemel Hempstead area (post code HP1, HP2 and HP3) hold a valid security guarding, door supervision or close protection licence.

2. Response

I can confirm that the SIA does hold this information. It can be found below.

Postal area Security guarding Door supervision Close protection
HP1 189 1,174 83
HP2 111 484 45
HP3 21 93 8

Please note that:

  • the sum of the 3 columns will not equal the total licence holders, as some individuals will hold multiple active licences
  • the postal areas given correspond to the licence holder’s home address
