BAPSC worked to promote the interests and regulate the activities of UK based firms that provide armed defensive security services in countries outside the UK. |

Launched in February 2006, the formation of the association stemmed from the realisation amongst a number of leading UK private security firms that there was an urgent need to raise standards of operation and advocate self regulation. BAPSC flourished under the leadership of Andy Bearpark, who prior to to taking up his position as Director General served as Director of Operations and Infrastructure for the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in Iraq. BAPSC went dormant shortly after the UK Government selected ADS as the preferred partner to implement regulatory standards for the UK industry. |

Membership of the BAPSC was restricted to UK based security firms providing armed security services overseas. To learn more, visit their membership page: https://bapsc.org.uk/membership-list_of_members.asp |
