Birmingham man convicted of providing false statements to SIA
Ahroon Alam was ordered to pay fines and costs totalling 拢612 after pleading guilty to knowingly making false statements to the SIA.

Mr Alam submitted a fabricated character reference from a Birmingham food bank as part of his appeal against the Security Industry Authority鈥檚 decision to refuse his application for a door supervisor licence due to his past criminality.聽
The SIA investigated the validity of this reference, speaking to multiple senior staff within the food bank who confirmed they did not know Mr Alam and had not provided him with a reference.聽
Mr Alam appeared at Birmingham Magistrates鈥 Court on 13 May 2025 and pleaded guilty at the earliest possible opportunity. The court fined him 拢80 and ordered him to pay both a 拢32 victim surcharge and 拢500 of prosecution costs.
Dave McCall, SIA Criminal Investigations Officer, said:聽
The SIA鈥檚 licensing regime is put in place to ensure door supervisors are trained and committed to protecting the public, but that regime is built on the foundation that people present truthful information.聽
In producing this false character reference, Ahroon Alam undermined those foundations and sought to put the public at risk. I am happy to see justice delivered in this case.
