On desks for the end of August 2014 is the September 2014 print issue of Professional Security magazine. It comes with the annual camera and dome supplement – our round-up inside one cover of the new products and services in that part of the CCTV market, plus some case studies and a report on the prospects for the UK CCTV market.
The cover photo ‘Calculating the odds’ illustrates the latest from our regular columnist Jim Gannon, who suggests that criminals are able to work out the odds of getting caught – and are willing and able to take the chance of doing crime before justice catches up with them.
Also for September 2014 is the second of three articles on the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and the Project Servator counter-terror work by police with guard forces and other private security ‘assets’ such as the public space CCTV of Community Safety Glasgow – to be featured in the next, October 2014 print issue.
Our regular and now US-based correspondent Una Riley takes us along Sunset Boulevard to the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) to meet some of the security people there; and we talk to Gemma Quirke, three weeks into her new role at the contract guarding company Wilson James as MD security services. You may recall news of her appointment in the July print magazine – we visited her at Wilson James’ office on Fleet Street in central London.
Plus all the regular news and views – spending the budget pages, new products and services, and pages on and about installers and network and IP security. Plenty on transport, from summer campaigns against trespass on the UK railways to a London seminar on cyber-threats to maritime, where speakers admitted that the maritime sector is vulnerable to cyber-attack and is doing little if anything about it.
And of interest if you’re a parent going back to university – or rather taking a son or daughter back to their uni for a new academic year – or if you work in the university and campus security sector, the university chief security officer association AUCSO has updated its emergency management and resilience advice. We talk to AUCSO chief officer Bernadette Duncan about the natural and man-made incidents and emergencies that universities face, from flooding to power outages.
