Chartered Security Professionals

CSyP Presentation Dinner

The Register of Chartered Security Professionals was very fortunate to be able to hold its Annual Celebratory Dinner for Chartered
Security Professionals on 12th March, just a few days before the lockdown started.

Held at the magnificent Stationers Hall in the City of London, attendees were able to celebrate another successful year for the
Register and witness certificate presentations to fourteen new Chartered Security Professionals.

Guests in attendance included the Master of the Worshipful Company of Security Professionals Mike Barley, After-Dinner Speaker
Commissioner Ian Dyson QPM of the City of London Police, compere Bob Martin JP CSyP FSyI, CSyPs and guests, and members
of the Register management Board. Two key supporting organisations (SIA and CPNI) were also represented, alongside leading
universities which provide academic qualifications in security. Unable to attend in person was Lord Alex Carlile, who accepted a
position as Patron of the Register of Chartered Security Professionals during 2019.

In welcoming guests, host Baroness Henig of Lancaster CBE DL, Chairman of the Registration Authority, made reference to the
rising levels of interest in the Register, as seen by the number of attendees at the CSyP Application Workshops. These continue to
be held online for potential applicants with free sessions held weekly in order to meet demand for participants across the globe.
Recruitment success in 2019 could also be measured in the additional number of volunteers trained who are now participating in
assessing applicants.

It was an extra special evening for those Chartered Security Professionals receiving certificates from Baroness Henig, whilst David
Gill CSyP FSyI read citations which demonstrated their diversity, impressive backgrounds and achievements.
