Case Studies

Our March 2016 issue

by Mark Rowe

New on desks is the March 2016 print issue of Professional Security magazine, aimed at UK private security people. We feature words and pictures from our first Security TWENTY event of the year, ST16 Midlands at Nottingham in February. We report on Met Police DCI Mick Neville on how the police in London are professionalising and industrialising use of CCTV evidence to identify criminals and to link more crimes to the same criminals.

Staying in London, we talk to the head of Safer London, the business crime reduction partnership; and Alan Clamp, who last year took over from Bill Butler as the chief executive of the Security Industry Authority. Staying with the SIA, but the North American one, the Security Industry Association, Una Riley talks to that US body. And our other regular contributor, Jim Gannon, covers private security patrols filling a gap in public patrols by the austerity-hit police.

On that subject, and ahead of the upcoming elections for police and crime commissioners, we report from an evening seminar on business crime in Birmingham. The West Midlands PCC, a former Labour MP, told the audience that business crime is a priority; but the event also made plain that many other things are police priorities, too!?

We round off our four-part feature on last year’s pioneering conference between the Charity Commission and the Fraud Advisory Panel on fraud against charities, a little-aired subject. As in any sector, staff are part of the problem, and part of the solution, we hear.

Plus we bring you all the regulars – Roy Cooper’s industry gossip page, the book review page, four pages of new products and services, four pages of ‘spending the budget’ case studies, pages for and about installers, and about security using IP products. News also on all the aspects of private security, whether manned guarding, networks and IT, electronic security or consultancy.
