Security
- We carry out the administration: SBD will check that basic levels of security are being incorporated into standard property types and ensure companies in the supply chain are providing products, like doors and windows, which meet our standards.
- Saves time and money: By removing a significant administrative burden from our NBA member companies, we are saving them valuable time and money because of the faster and simplified process to reach our standards.
- Acceptable throughout the UK: This means that an SBD NBA member can build anywhere in the UK safe in the knowledge that police concerns for crime prevention have been met. SBD issues a ‘Silver Certificate’ to recognise physical security standards have been achieved to prevent crime and anti- social behaviour.
Many of our NBA members choose to aspire to a Gold Certificate, which recognises that crime prevention measures are not only built into the physical security of buildings but also into the surrounding layout and landscaping too. This is where we use such techniques as maximising natural surveillance, creating defensible space and limiting excessive through movement to keep people safe.
NBA is for companies like developers, builders and contractors as well as organisations like local authorities, housing associations and social landlords. Many of our member companies are household name residential developers and one of the largest local authorities in Europe became the first local authority to join our scheme in 2018.
Membership costs a nominal £10 +VAT for a three-year contract - that’s because we are more interested in providing safer communities than in deriving an income from this initiative. To apply to join SBD’s NBA, in the first instance, email:
sbdnba@police-cpi.co.uk and we will get in touch with you.
CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION
Architects and Town Planners can request a professional development session on crime prevention and designing out crime from SBD.
The presentation content includes relevant legislation, policy and guidance; an overview of property crime trends; an evaluation of why crime occurs and an introduction to SBD. We explain how buildings can be made physically secure by having doors, windows and locks that meet attack resistant standards, and how an open, welcoming and safe environment can be achieved by incorporating crime prevention design into the layout and landscaping of the immediate surroundings in subtle ways that will be barely noticeable to residents.
Academic research has consistently shown significant reductions in crime when our principles are built-in compared to non-SBD developments. To request a Continuing Professional Development presentation contact:

POLICE PREFERRED SPECIFICATION
It is important for buildings of all types to be physically secure to deter criminal activity and reduce crime. SBD has worked with manufacturers, the construction industry and standards authorities for many years to ensure that security standards are current and updated to keep pace with changing patterns of criminal behaviour.
Today, SBD has more than 700 member companies with thousands of products in more than 30 different crime categories that have achieved our Police Preferred Specification.
Our membership recognises that products not only have been tested to relevant security standards but also fully certified by an independent third- party certification body accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).
Companies that achieve our Police Preferred Specification can become an SBD member company and us our coveted logo for sales and marketing purposes. Police forces can recommend SBD accredited products and signpost members of the public to the list of SBD member companies and products on our website
www.securedbydesign.com , where all our 700 plus member companies and their many thousands of products are listed.
Academic research has shown repeatedly over the last ten years that this requirement for SBD accredited attack resistant quality products has reduced burglary where they have been installed.
SBD is the only way for companies to obtain police accreditation for security- related products in the UK.
