M Sanji Education Awards
The education award was introduced in 2009 to help ease the financial burdens of our security officers in a small way, specifically in financing their children’s education. The award was previously capped at 2 children per applicant but the Union has removed the capping this year to assist more members. USE believes that the private security profession is an important one. We hope our officers are respected for the important work they do, and that their children can be proud that their parents keep lives and properties safe.
