The credit crunch and the more pressing problems of the looming recession everyone’s talking about may have taken your focus from security but now that the students have returned to the University family and the dark nights draw in as autumn starts to bite the time is right for re-accessing security needs.

It has long been recognized that at times of economic slow down crime rises, this coupled with the Government warning that 30 terrorist plots have been thwarted; however it’s just a matter of time before one succeeds. The security forces need to keep a constant vigil, whereas the terrorist only needs to get lucky once to cause devastation. This coupled with rises in the severity of criminal acts, along with anti social behavior makes a review of your security requirements a priority.

Security has never been more important and everyone should have the opportunity to be and feel safer.

At the end of 2007 the Government commissioned a security review on behalf of the nation, due to the increased threat of international terrorism, home grown activists and criminal activity.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced that security measures are to be upgraded at transport terminals including airports and rail stations, shopping centres and sports stadia, power plants and the national infra structure.

The Government message is clear; we all need to take responsibility for security.

Out with the old; in with the new.

In order to implement a successful security strategy, it is imperative that an audit is carried out and a security management plan be developed. The plan needs to list the risks and actual and perceived threats, along with an operational requirement.

Your audit should be carried out by a security professional with a working knowledge of your industry sector

Remember to contact your local police force and speak to the ‘Counter Terrorism Security Advisor.’

Good physical security will be your first line of defence backed up by electronic security.

The security measures should be multilayered like an onion skin, and backed up by sound management policies and procedures, including staff training.

Fortunately, today’s security professionals can draw from a substantial arsenal of security options with technology, providing many cost efficient ways to improve security for everyone.

A holistic attitude to integrated solutions is demanded in today’s world. This has led to a move from basic intrusion detection and simple alarm systems, to an integrated approach, with the implementation of products that can interface with a wide range of security systems and solutions, through computer software, user interface or hardware.

Technology provides a plethora of electronic security devices such as IP Digital and Analogue CCTV, Access Control, Intruder Detection, Public Address, Communications equipment, mapping systems and Graphical User Interfaces. When professionally integrated, these systems provide the security manager with the most powerful weapon in the war against crime.

Low cost options can be as simple as locks and barriers, good lighting, staff awareness training and even landscaping.
