National Security Technician Day is observed in the United States every January 23 to honor the skilled professionals who are essential to the delivery and function of security technologies. Established in 2022, the day was first celebrated in 2023 and is sponsored by the Foundation for Advancing Security Talent (FAST), the Security Industry Association (SIA), and the Electronic Security Association (ESA). The holiday aims to highlight the contributions of security technicians, who specialize in installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting security systems in various settings, including homes, businesses, and government facilities. Typical activities on this day include team events, luncheons, awards ceremonies for outstanding technicians, and social media campaigns using the hashtag #NationalSecurityTechnicianDay. The observance encourages individuals and companies in the security industry to recognize the dedication and hard work of security technicians, whose efforts often go unnoticed by the general public.
