New on desks is our September 2015 issue of Professional Security magazine, which comes with our annual, 32-page camera and dome supplement.
We bring words and pictures from our latest Security TWENTY exhibition-conference, ST15 Newcastle, at Gosforth Park in July (pictured); look at drones and what threat they pose to the security manager, and where; and USB – unwanted sexual behaviour on buses and Underground trains, as tackled in a public awareness campaign by Transport for London and partners.
Besides the regular features – the name to face page, MD Roy Cooper’s gossip about installers and manufacturers on page 13, the four pages of ‘spending the budget’, and four pages of new physical and electronic security products and services – we offer the first of a three-part case study on a Slough data centre; and winners at a London bus CCTV awards ceremony hosted at New Scotland Yard.
As for our regular contributors, Jim Gannon looks at the migrant crisis gripping Calais – and we hear what it has meant and might mean for UK private security people; and Una Riley interviews Lynn Watts-Plumpkin.
In our August issue we featured some of the finalists in the annual Imbert Prize for the best essay on a security management topic, as presented at the annual luncheon of the Association of Security Consultants. In September we feature Peter Finch, now at the Coventry Building Society, but who won the Imbert Prize for his dissertation while an NHS trust security manager, as part of a Bucks New University course, studying violence in the National Health Service and response – or lack of it – by the NHS.
Other pages cover an online training course in how to react to a Charlie Hebdo-style terror attack on premises; the beginnings of local government and police use of Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs), the Conservative replacement of the Blair Government’s ASBOs; and a round-up of security in the nuclear power sector.
