# Add and manage officers

People → Officers is your agency's staff: the list, Add Officer, and each officer's profile. Adding an officer emails them an invitation to set up their login, and gives them a check-call PIN. Until they accept it they cannot be proposed for a shift. Officers are never deleted, only deactivated, which stops them signing in and being proposed. There is no limit on how many officers you can hold.

## Who can do this?

Agency Admins and Agency Coordinators, for their own agency's officers — adding, editing, inviting, re-issuing PINs and deactivating.

## What is on the Officers list?

**People → Officers** opens **Personnel Management** — *Manage security officers with UK compliance tracking*. The **Officers** tab lists them; **Compliance** rolls up their documents — see [Keep officers' compliance documents](/docs/agency/officer-compliance-documents).

![Personnel Management with Export CSV and Add Officer buttons, on the Officers tab beside Compliance. Tiles read Total 5, Active 5 and Expiring ≤30d 0. Below the search box, Search by name or licence number…, the filters read All licence types and Active, with an Expiring soon tick box. Five officers are listed with their licence number, email and phone, licence type and shift count, a green Valid expiry pill dated 31 Aug 2027, an Active status and a power button: Bethan Ellis and Nadia Choudhury and Tariq Hussain, Security Guard; Ewan Sinclair and Rhiannon Price, Door Supervisor.](/docs/img/officers-list.png)

- Search by name or licence number; filter by licence type, status — **Active**, **Deactivated** or **All statuses** — or tick **Expiring soon**.
- **Expiry** reads **Valid**, **Expiring** within 30 days, or **Expired**.
- Click an officer for their profile. **Export CSV** downloads the list.

## How do I add an officer?

1. Press **Add Officer**.
2. Under **Basic Information**, fill **Full Name**, **Email Address** and **Phone Number**. The email is required: *The officer must verify this email (via their invitation) before they can be assigned to any shift.*
3. Choose the **Role Type**. A role that needs an SIA licence shows **SIA Licence Information** — **Licence Type**, **Licence Number** (16 digits, no spaces) and **Licence Expiry Date**, which cannot be in the past.
4. Under **Compliance Information**, tick what the officer has declared: **Right to work**, **First Aid certified** and **BS 7858 screening**. These are declarations; the documents and the screening confirm them.
5. Press **Create Officer**.

![Add New Officer — Add a security officer to your agency roster. Basic Information has Full Name, Email Address with the note Required. The officer must verify this email (via their invitation) before they can be assigned to any shift — regulatory requirement., and Phone Number. Role Type has a Select role type… picker. SIA Licence Information has Licence Type, Licence Number (16 digit number with no spaces) and Licence Expiry Date. Compliance Information has three tick boxes: Right to work — declared (verify it with a document in the Compliance tab), First Aid certified, and BS 7858 screening — declared cleared (completing the Screening records it). Cancel and Create Officer buttons sit at the bottom.](/docs/img/officer-add-form.png)

The officer is emailed an invitation to set up their login, valid for 7 days. They are also given a four-digit check-call PIN, unique in your agency.

Two officers cannot share a licence number — *An officer with this licence number already exists*.

## How many officers can I have?

As many as you need. There is no officer limit. You pay for officers who work on your own client sites in a month, not for the officers you hold. See [Subscription and billing](/docs/organisation/subscription-and-billing#who-pays-for-agency-officers).

## What is on an officer's profile?

The header shows their status, licence, proposals and assignments, with **Edit Officer** and **Send invite** or **Resend invite**. Below it sits the **Check-call PIN**.

The Check-call PIN card — 4-digit, used to book on + log check calls. — shows the PIN masked as four dots, with a show button and New PIN. On the left, the tabs Officer Details (selected), Proposals, Assignment History, Certifications, Compliance and Screening; Officer Details shows Personal Information — Full Name Bethan Ellis, her email and Phone 07700 900203 — and Role & Licence — Role Type and Licence Type Security Guard, and her licence number.](/docs/img/officer-profile.png)

| Tab | Holds |
|---|---|
| **Officer Details** | Personal information, role and licence, and the compliance declarations |
| **Proposals**, **Assignment History** | Where they have been put forward and worked |
| **Certifications** | Their certifications |
| **Compliance** | Their documents — see [Keep officers' compliance documents](/docs/agency/officer-compliance-documents) |
| **Screening** | BS 7858 vetting — see [Screen officers to BS 7858](/docs/agency/officer-screening) |
| **Onboarding**, **Emergency**, **Medical** | The onboarding checklist, emergency contacts and medical details |


## How do I resend an officer's invitation?

**Send invite** or **Resend invite** on the profile — shown while the officer has an email but no working login. If the email cannot be sent, the profile shows the set-up link instead, so you can pass it on yourself. The officer cannot be proposed for a shift until they have accepted it.

## How do I re-issue a PIN?

The **Check-call PIN** card shows the PIN masked; the eye button reveals it. **New PIN** issues another — *Issue a new PIN for …? Their current PIN will stop working.* Only your agency can see or change it.

## How do I deactivate an officer?

1. On the **Officers** list, press the power button on their row.
2. Confirm **Deactivate Officer** — *Deactivated officers are hidden from the default view and unavailable for new assignments. Their records are preserved and they can be reactivated at any time.*

A deactivated officer can no longer sign in, and is refused for any new proposal. Deactivating cancels nothing already booked: a message lists the shifts they are still committed to, for you to reassign. To bring them back, choose **Deactivated** in the status filter and press the power button again.

Officers are never deleted.
