Running on Thursday 5 March at The Jury’s Inn Hotel in central Birmingham, ‘Securing Educational Establishments’ is supported by SMT Online, info4security, IFSEC 2009 and Security Installer magazine, and combines a series of first class presentations from the education and security sectors’ foremost professionals, a Panel Discussion on CCTV and detailed Case Studies. The overriding aim is to help security professionals develop cost-effective systems and management regimes that will maximise protection.
Identifying the emerging risks
Following the opening remarks by Brian Sims, conference chairman and editor of SMT Online, the first speaker of the day is DCI Chris Philips. Head of the National Counter-Terrorism Security Office, Chris will examine how security managers might effectively tackle today’s threats and identify the emerging risks.
How might we manage the increasing and horrific presence of knife crime in society? Obviously, preventative tactics must be employed. We’ve seen the metal arches used by the British Transport Police on the London Underground, of course, but should they become compulsory in schools?
It’s sad that we should even have to contemplate this, but this huge problem must be addressed. Too many children are losing their lives because of the knife epidemic.
