curity ms Systems exist in the market now that can


discreetly scan large volumes of people – up to 10,000 an hour per unit – for threat items such as firearms or IEDs, either on their person or in backpacks, as they walk through an area. This can be done in real- time without the need to remove coats or empty pockets, allowing the normal flow of people into a venue. Not only does this does this stop attackers in their tracks; it also acts as a powerful deterrent. Such technologies are being widely utilised


by venues throughout the world. Leading European Exhibition Centre, Palexpo, for example, deployed HSR to bolster security at the Geneva International Motor Show (GIMS). Philippe Echivard, Palexpo’s Director of Security, said: “Palexpo is always looking at ways of


providing enhanced security, whilst at the same time improving the visitor experience. One by one, security screening methods are becoming unsuitable for events like GIMS. With more than 600,000 visitors, slowing down the flow of people can cause some considerable queues at the entrance. Once we’d reviewed the market, we found HSR was by far the best solution capable of seamlessly screening such high volumes of visitors. We deployed HSR at GIMS in 2019 and we are delighted with its positive impact.”


fmuk 39 Proactive but proportionate


Being seen to be taking a proactive approach to security and implementing deterrents against mass-casualty attacks will no doubt make an arena or conference centre more appealing to patrons. Furthermore, a proactive approach to security also appeals to event organisers who are equally conscious of their duty of care and reputations when considering a host venue for events. Of course, any response to a proposed


threat needs to be proportionate, and different facilities teams will have different


hurdles based on their physical layout and footfall, but the fact is that terrorism is a reality here and now. Having a flexible mind set and a willingness


to embrace technology and its capabilities is important. So too is the aforementioned emphasis on proportionality and deterrence regimes, and, ultimately, some limited acceptance of risk. Facilities managers and venue owners open to this approach can rest assured technology is now in place to support their security teams and create a safe and seamless visitor experience for their customers.
