The QPS certified agreement of 2016 is an important document for businesses operating in the Australian security industry. The agreement was reached between the Queensland Police Service (QPS) and the Australian Security Industry Association Limited (ASIAL), and sets out the requirements for security companies to be recognised as QPS certified.

The QPS certified agreement was first introduced in 2003, and has since been updated to reflect changes in the industry and to ensure that security companies are meeting the highest standards. The agreement covers a range of areas, including training and qualifications, operational procedures, compliance with regulations and legislation, and the use of technology.

One of the key benefits of being QPS certified is that it can provide a competitive edge for security companies in the market. Clients are increasingly looking for security providers who are certified and can demonstrate a commitment to quality and professionalism. Being QPS certified can also help to reduce risk for clients, as they can be confident that the security provider has been thoroughly vetted and meets the highest standards.

To become QPS certified, security companies must undergo a rigorous assessment process. This includes a review of their operational procedures and documentation, as well as an on-site audit to ensure that they are complying with the requirements of the agreement. Companies must also provide evidence of their training and qualifications, and demonstrate that they have appropriate insurance and legal compliance.

Once a company has been certified, they are required to maintain their certification through regular audits and reviews. This ensures that they continue to meet the high standards set out in the agreement and that they are keeping up with the latest developments in the industry.

The QPS certified agreement of 2016 is an important document for the Australian security industry. It sets out the requirements for security companies to be recognised as QPS certified, and provides a framework for ensuring that they meet the highest standards. Being QPS certified can provide a competitive edge for security companies, and can also help to reduce risk for clients.
