144.These paragraphs define security services and create offences of providing or offering security services for reward without being a holder or the agent of a holder of a licence from the Secretary of State, and of advertising the provision of security services by a non-holder of a licence. It is also an offence under this schedule to pay money for security services to someone who is not the holder of a valid licence; however, paragraph 4 allows for a defence of reasonable belief if a person is charged with such an offence.
