About Security

The security industry is involved in both protection of individuals and the deterrence of threats that could endanger, harm or threaten members of society. It can involve surveillance, analysis, safeguarding networks as well as gather intelligence or crowd controlling. Some higher level careers in security and intelligence can work for the government in anti-terrorism.

The job prospects in the security industry vary based on the level of the position, for instance, there’s a good chance of obtaining a job as a security guard, which currently employers almost 8,000 people in New Zealand, however, job opportunity for intelligence officers are slightly less common.

The rate of pay can also change considerably depending on experience, skills and qualifications. Security guards with over three years of experience, or those specialised in private investigation can earn up to $33 per hour, and intelligence officers in the defence force can earn up to $68,000 per year.

Requirements for Entering Security in New Zealand 

There are some legal requirements to become a professional in the security sector, be it as a security guard or a private investigator. To become a security guard in New Zealand there are no compulsory education needs, however having sufficient knowledge before applying is very useful. There is also mandatory training of at least three months that’s necessary and first aid training is also a crucial qualification. The most important item is a Certificate of Approval issued by the Ministry of Justice which is needed. Similar to most jobs concerned with protecting people, a police check will need to be performed to make sure there has been no previous convictions.

To become a Private Investigator, while there isn’t a qualification necessary, having a large amount of knowledge in surveillance, investigating and the legal constraints around trespass and privacy greatly increase the likelihood of finding a job. You will also need a Private Security Licence from the Ministry of Justice which can be applied for through the Private Security Personnel Licensing Authority (PSPLA)
