About IASIR
IASIR was founded in 1993 by a farsighted group of regulatory administrators who realized that by joining hands they could enhance their ability to regulate and promote professionalism of the private security, private investigative, alarm and related industries. Now, 25 years later, IASIR’s membership has grown to include most state and provincial government regulatory agencies, as well as law enforcement and industry members from across North America and increasingly, other parts of the world.
What's New
Navigating the Regulatory Landscape
As reflected in the preliminary agenda (link below), the 2018 Conference of the International Association of Security and Investigative Regulators will explore regulatory trends from the early days to the present, as well as the current regulatory challenges and opportunities facing the security, investigation and alarm industries. Real world examples and practical collaboration between representatives of government and the regulated industries will be emphasized in breakout sessions and full-group discussion. While many industry groups are contemplating changes and challenges to the current security and investigative landscape, IASIR is unique in its examination of these issues from a regulatory standpoint.
This year, our conference organizers, including the IASIR Program Committee and the Arizona Department of Public Safety, Licensing & Regulatory Bureau, are bringing together renowned experts and government and industry leaders to share ideas and develop regulatory best practices both for every-day business and events unforeseen. It’s an ambitious program with a firm focus on the future, and we invite you to join us in this important conversation.
