What the petition asks
The Government urgently needs to add "Security Industry Personnel" to the list of "Key Workers", recently defined in the latest guidance on the Corvid-19 crisis.
Security industry personnel play a vital role in protecting critical infrastructure, businesses and indeed shops and supermarkets, now facing very real public order issues.
Without their children remaining in full time education and facing possible restrictions on their movements, we face a situation where empty businesses may be unprotected, intruder alarm activations may go unattended, and the beleaguered Police Service may no longer be able to look to the private sector for support.
