The origins and first steps of the National Council for Private Security Activities (CNAPS)

Abstract

National hearing. This report sets out the background to the National Council for Private Security Activities created by the Decree of 21 December 2011, which itself forms part of Article 31 of the LOPPSI of 14 March 2011. It places its emergence in a long history of regulation of the sector since the founding law of 1983. It shows the political-administrative reasons which have led to recognition of the prefectural shortcomings in this regard and, consequently, the desire to radically change the regulatory formula. Guided by the Interministerial Private Security Delegation (DISP) set up in 2010, the CNAPS has become a public institution under the supervision of the Ministry of the Interior, which now acts as a ‘one-stop shop’ for the issue and renewal of professional qualifications and authorisations for employees and managers of security companies. Employers’ organisations are present within the CNAPS Steering Board and “co-manage” the system within its nine variations in metropolitan France and overseas areas (CIAC and CLAC: inter-regional [and local] accreditation and control committees). It examines the economically and legally contentious situations of human, electronic, fiduciary security, airport safety, private research agencies, under the supervision of the CNAC (National Commission for Approval and Supervision, headed by two magistrates in the administrative and judicial area). The new system does not impose any burden on public finances, since it has not only relieved the prefectures of this task, but also because it employs 214 employees paid from the levy of an ad hoc tax paid by the sector and the proceeds of fines. Finally, the report explores, through various local incursions by the author and a series of interviews with many privileged actors and witnesses in this reform, the mechanisms for the effectiveness of the CIACs at work during their first running-in year 2012. He wondered about the future of the type of change brought about in this field. Indeed, the co-production of public safety had never been recognised so openly as being undertaken with economic actors involved in the own regulation of their activities. This report helps to address all the empirical implications of this low-noise revolution in the area of collective risk and hazard prevention.
