Ex Police in Industry and Commerce

EPIC was founded in 1980 by a small group of ex-police officers working in the security field and the inspiration and first Chairman of the organisation was the late Arthur Rees, CBE, QPM, DL, former Chief Constable of Staffordshire.
 
The objectives of the organisation are to:
a)have exchanges of information regarding security in industry and commerce for the benefit and in the interests of individual members, their employees and clients;
b)assist where possible with any other matters affecting members.
 
From small beginnings EPIC has now developed into a substantial and highly reputable professional association with a membership in excess of 500. An executive committee ensures good standards and EPIC members are of undoubted background.

All former Police ranks are present within the membership and there are former serving representatives of all forces in England and Wales, several in Scotland and the Royal Ulster Constabulary.

EPIC has expanded in line with the growth in the Security industry generally.
 
There are other professional security associations but EPIC is different in that the members have a common background of integrity with a unique wealth of experience. This enables a ready source of information and guidance to be available to Industry and Commerce.

Many members have attained additional qualifications in Security since leaving the Police Service. Members of EPIC are now in some of the most senior posts - as, for example, Group Security Advisers, Company Chief Security Advisers, Security Controllers, Directors and Security Managers. Many of the largest and best known UK companies and multi-nationals are represented in EPIC. Additionally, many members are self-employed, providing an advisory and investigative service to industry and commerce.

With a well established reputation EPIC is now respected by Government, other Industrial and Commercial Associations and the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). Members are included on commissions, enquiries and working parties engaged in examining developments in the security industry. The views of the EPIC membership are sought in the planning of new legislation and other fundamental issues.

EPIC has a written constitution to enable high standards to be cherished and preserved.
