The International Professional Security Association (IPSA) is the UK’s longest‑established trade body serving the security and fire systems sector. Founded in the 1950s, it supports frontline workers—such as security officers, CCTV and access control installers, fire technicians, dog handlers, and close protection officers—by providing free membership, professional recognition, training, and trade advocacy.
IPSA members earn post‑nominal M.IPSA and benefit from networking, industry guidance, technical courses, and regulatory support. The association promotes best practice, ethics, and industry standards, and offers app‑based tools and resources to support installers and officers in delivering high-quality, compliant services across the UK.
