The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
Private security activity includes the protection of life, personal safety and property of people in a protected area, as well as the protection of movable and immovable property, which is carried out by security personnel and technical security systems. Legislation stipulates that private security services may only be provided by a company or sole trader with the appropriate registered activity, a valid licence and meeting statutory requirements. The thesis compared the implementation of such transport in Slovenia and Austria, where the field of private security is regulated solely by the Crafts Act. The aim was to establish the regulatory framework for private security in the transport of cash and other valuables across borders in the selected countries.
Problem
Private security activity includes the protection of life, personal safety and property of people in a protected area, as well as the protection of movable and immovable property, which is carried out by security personnel and technical security systems. Legislation stipulates that private security services may only be provided by a company or sole trader with the appropriate registered activity, a valid licence and meeting statutory requirements. In cases of transport and protection of cash and other valuables, the service provider must ensure personnel with appropriate training in the field of protection and transport of cash and other valuables.
The fundamental regulations in the field of cash and other valuables transport are the Private Security Act (hereinafter ZZasV-1) and the Rules on the Method of Transport and Protection of Cash and Other Valuables. The diploma thesis examined the field of transfer and transport of cash and other valuables, focusing on the presentation of the regulatory framework for private security in cross-border transport of cash and other valuables between two European Union member states, the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Austria.
The initial chapters presented and described the field of private security in Slovenia and related factors (obtaining a licence, security personnel training, security personnel equipment, etc.). Cross-border cash transport was also presented, which is divided into cross-border transport of euro banknotes and cross-border transport of euro coins.
Solution and Method
The thesis compared the implementation of such transport in Slovenia and Austria, where the field of private security is regulated solely by the Crafts Act.
Results
The aim was to establish the regulatory framework for private security in the transport of cash and other valuables across borders in the selected countries. By comparing and reviewing the legislation, it was established that legislation in Slovenia in the examined field is more transparent than in Austria, and that Slovenia complies with numerous standards regarding the transport of cash and other valuables, whilst the field of private security is also regulated in detail by legislation. Based on their research, it can be concluded that Slovenia has an appropriate regulatory framework in the examined field, which ensures a high level of standards.
Nevertheless, it is important that legislation continues to be updated, as only in this way will it ensure appropriately trained security personnel and safety in the transport of cash and other valuables in a cross-border environment.
