oday’s threat from terrorism is high and could remain so for the next five years. It’s clear that an attack could be anytime, anywhere, with any weapon. The


simplicity of attack methodology and speed of radicalisation present the greatest challenges. Implementing protective security against threats of this nature is challenging and difficult.


But, experience shows that terrorism is not inevitable and everyone involved in security needs to work with the community to create a hostile environment for terrorists. Indeed, there is a growing call to evolve from partnership to collaboration, and from there to integration between public and private sectors working in this area.


Our spring edition is here to support these counter terrorism endeavours with a range of ideas and opinions.


It follows that we must continuously monitor events around the world and we begin with a global snapshot of terrorism and national security. Then, we look at how strategic and operational security contribute to counter terrorism, including a detailed look at security operation centres, best practice for CCTV, selecting a drone security supplier and a review of the key findings from the Novichok attack in Salisbury.


An intriguing article shows how mindfulness can be useful in reducing radicalisation and we hear about an app that is designed to help those caught up in a terrorist incident.


In other major challenges to security to 2019, we consider the implications for security of Brexit and, as knife crime persists as a serious concern, we include an article calling for a refreshed approach to Stop and Search.
