On Wednesday, we had the honour of attending the Security Industry Authority ACS Officers of Distinction Awards — a day dedicated to recognising the people in our industry who show incredible care, courage and commitment.
We are incredibly proud of Kyle Russell, a Kingdom officer who was recognised for his exceptional actions in supporting a vulnerable young person in distress.
Kyle spent hours showing empathy, patience and care — ultimately helping to guide her to safety. His calm presence truly made all the difference.
It’s moments like this that remind us what this job is really about — people.
Our Chief Services Officer Graham Allison said: "Our industry is full of quality people who deserve recognition for what they deliver every day."
Our Head of Sales Andy Ellis added: "Such a powerful example today of what our officers across this industry go through each and every day."
At Kingdom, we are united by a shared purpose to make a real difference. We CARE about supporting the communities we live and work in — especially in moments when compassion and connection are needed most.
With only 144 Officers of Distinction Awards ever given — and over 450,000 security officers across the UK — we’re proud that for the third year in a row, a Kingdom officer has been recognised for truly outstanding service.
Thank you to the ACS Pacesetters for celebrating the people who step up when it matters most — and reminding us all of the real impact security professionals make every day.
