The Security Industry Association (SIA) provides numerous services for its members, and one of these services is guidance on how politics affect the security industry. Jake Parker, SIA’s head of government relations, pays close attention to all that is going on in both federal and state governments, and fights for the rights of security businesses both large and small, keeping track of all bills that could potentially impact the industry.
“As an association, we try to translate what’s going on in D.C. into the actual effects on the industry,” Parker said.
