Today marks International Security Officers Day 2025, a day to honour the relentless dedication of Security Officers worldwide.
This year, our tribute carries a special personal note. We proudly celebrate one of our own, Liz Smith.
On Friday 18th July, Liz completed her final patrol at Abbeygate Shopping Centre in Arbroath after 23 years of dedicated service.
She’s been a familiar face to generations of shoppers and retailers. Known simply as 'Liz the Security Officer', she’s become part of the fabric of the centre and the wider community.
Her strength, fairness and care have earned her deep respect, even from those she’s had to challenge. Her approach has always been simple and powerful. Treat everyone how you’d like to be treated yourself.
We’re proud to have had Liz on the Kingdom team. She’s left a legacy built on kindness, courage and consistency, and we wish her a long and happy retirement.
This is Liz's story. But she's not alone. Today, there are thousands of officers across the UK and beyond whose stories go untold. Let's honour them all.
