What aichi security service association does

Aichi Security Service Association (一般社団法人愛知県警備業協会, also known as 愛警協 or AICHI SECURITY SERVICE ASSOCIATION) is a non-profit general incorporated association (一般社団法人) headquartered in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It serves as the officially delegated training and certification body for the security guard industry in the prefecture, mandated by the Aichi Prefectural Public Safety Commission (愛知県公安委員会). Its core service portfolio comprises security guard education (new-hire and in-service training), supervisor/instructor certification courses, special certification courses delegated by the Security Guard Special Training Center ((一社)警備員特別講習事業センター), and security planner training hosted on behalf of the National Security Industry Association (全国警備業協会). Delivery channels include in-person classroom sessions, a member-exclusive portal, and an e-learning system launched in April 2025. The association maintains a public member-company directory, distributes industry guidance, and contributes to community-safety programs (e.g., fraud prevention, disaster cooperation) in coordination with Aichi Prefectural Police and the prefectural government.

The association's business model is funded through membership dues from regional security guard companies and fees charged for its mandated training and certification programs. It does not disclose financials; pricing for various training courses and seminars was raised effective May 2025 due to rising material costs, indicating modest but real pricing power within the regulatory framework. Customer segments are the Aichi-based security guard companies (primary, vertical) and individual security personnel (secondary, persona) who must complete mandatory continuing education and certification.

A disaster response cooperation agreement with the Governor of Aichi Prefecture was signed on 11 March 2025, formally expanding the association's role into emergency security service coordination. The entity is governed by a board led by President Kaneko Keitaro, who received the Order of the Rising Sun with Ray of Light award in October 2024, indicating recognized institutional standing within Japan's regulated security industry.
