BN- Security industry 'infiltrated by bikies': "Victoria's security industry is being infiltrated by bikie gangs and other rogue operators who pose major risks to public safety, a new report has found.
The report from the Liquor, Hospitality and Miscellaneous Union (LHMU), which represents security guards, says the industry is being let down by unscrupulous contractors cutting corners and failing to train, recruit or pay staff appropriately.
The report includes a warning from Australian Crime Commission (ACC) chief executive John Lawler who says access to firearms, licensed premises, major events and a range of public and private assets 'provides incentives and opportunities for organised crime groups to infiltrate and exploit the private security industry'.
