The ACS Pacesetters Security Officer of Distinction Awards 2026

We returned to Royal Windsor Racecourse for the ACS Pacesetters Security Officer of Distinction Awards on Wednesday, 20th May, and were joined by our members, together with their staff and clients, our sponsors, and guests to celebrate the outstanding work of the frontline Officers which often goes unnoticed.

We would like to congratulate all the inspirational Security Officers who are a credit to the Security Industry.  Their professionalism and bravery saved many lives, prevented injury to the public, resulted in offenders being prosecuted and recovery of high value stolen items.

This year we had 21 Finalists for the Security Officer of Distinction Awards.  There were 13 Award Winners and 2 Highly Commended Certificates.  In addition, the remaining 6 Finalists were presented with Certificates.  We would also like to mention all of those who were nominated who should be congratulated on their achievements.

We were delighted that Michelle Russell, CEO of The Security Industry Authority joined us and presented these well-deserved awards and kindly gave an update on the Business Approval Scheme.
