The establishment of Premier Security Co-operative Society Ltd in March 1984 was a landmark in the history of co-operative movement in Singapore. It was the first time two major Co-operative Societies, the Singapore Police Co-operative Society Ltd and the Singapore Government Staff Credit Co-operative Society Ltd pooled their resources to venture into the business of providing security services.

The Society began with a paid-up capital of S$50,000 and a manpower complement of 60. That was eighteen years ago. Today, Premier has a paid-up capital of S$811,400 and manpower of complement of 360 officers serving over 75 clients. Premier Security has firmly established itself as one of Singapore's leading security agencies.

Premier Security Co-operative Society Ltd was created out of a simple need to put experience to good use. Firstly, the Police and Armed Forces, has the knowledge and experience which can be tapped to provide good and reliable security. Secondly, was the general recognition that a country's development and its need to secure security go hand in hand. In a rapidly developing Singapore, there is a need to keep crime down. Premier Security addresses this need by using the experience of its staff to create a secure and safe Singapore to live and do business.

It is therefore easy to understand why the managerial and supervisory staff along with a fair percentage of ground personnel come from the Police, Army or related uniformed services. It remains the policy to give priority in recruiting ex-services personnel and the result is a tightly-knit, highly effective corps of trained personnel with an unmatched wealth of skill and experience to offer and serve our clients.
