What challenges face security in 2017?
SECURITY ORGANI SATIONS ’ VIEWS
We invited a range of senior police officers and representatives from security organisations for their views on 2017 and to consider...
...how the increased number of terrorist attacks on major European cities in 2016, together with the diverse methods used, could impact security in 2017
and how organisations can deploy resources to protect business and communities.
Don Randall, MBE, CSyP Chair City of London Crime Prevention Association
2017 will undoubtedly continue to present serious and wide-ranging challenges for
all those working in the field of security. As a consequence, it is crucial for the security industry to sustain a continued commitment to addressing these threats in partnership and collaboration with all elements of law enforcement. The ability to share information and advice, using proven initiatives such as CSSC and Project Griffin, enables us to provide preventative guidance and respond at pace to events as they unfold.
In a world that is increasingly complex and connected, terrorists and organised criminal gangs are becoming ever more proficient in their use of technology. The threat and impact of cyber crime is significant. We must continue to develop our response, not just with technical solutions but by educating our communities in how to prevent and deal with cyber attacks.
During 2017 we have a responsibility to heighten our knowledge and competencies in all aspects of security in order to deliver a

high standard of engagement. It is important to enhance our professional skills through acknowledged qualifications/accreditations, including those established by The Security Institute, ASIS and The Worshipful Company of Security Professionals 'Chartered Security Professional' status.
Regrettably, I do not envisage any decrease in this criminal activity for many years to come. As an industry, we must remain vigilant and visionary in our ongoing endeavours to prevent, deter and detect the perpetrators of these attacks, particularly in the arenas of terrorism and cyber.
Ian Dyson, QPM Commissioner City of London Police
In 2016, the world witnessed a deeply
worrying increase in global terrorism, with horrifying attacks
in Nice, Paris, Brussels and elsewhere. In 2017 the City of London Police, as well as other security practitioners across the City, will maintain our committed resolve to do all we can to deter and defeat terrorist activity.
