In the ever-evolving world of security, the role of security technicians has become increasingly vital. These professionals are the backbone of our industry, ensuring safety and peace of mind in a variety of settings. Recognizing their contributions, the Foundation for Advancing Security Talent (FAST) is proud to announce the launch of the second annual National Security Technician Day. This special day, set for Tuesday, Jan. 23, is an opportunity for us all to show our gratitude and celebrate the hard work and dedication of security technicians.

National Security Technician Day is an annual commemorative day to honor security technicians across the country. On National Security Technician Day and the week that follows, FAST encourages all businesses and individuals in the security industry to recognize the hard work, dedication and skills that security technicians provide. From the installation of security solutions to the configuration and service of this equipment, the efforts of security technicians are essential to the delivery and function of security technologies that protect our country, its citizens, businesses and government; the skilled work of security technicians underpins the safety of our homes and even our nation’s homeland security.
