Keeping it Green A


t City Security magazine we care about how our magazines are printed and the paper they are printed on.


Our printers are certified members of the World Land Trust and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The World Land Trust initiative invests in preserving environmentally important forests which are under imminent threat of deforestation through carbon balancing. Carbon balancing is a scheme that invests money in offsetting the amount of CO2 produced during the manufacturing process. The lead patron of this scheme is Sir David Attenborough. The FSC is an international non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting responsible forestry. We believe in making a real statement and a positive contribution towards saving our planet by reducing carbon impact.

© CITY SECURITY MAGAZINE – WINTER 2022


e welcome the Chairman of both the City of London Crime Prevention Association and the City Security magazine Editorial Committee, Don Randall MBE CSyP to open our winter edition with his Christmas message for 2022:


As we approach 2023, we must reflect on a year with some happiness but overshadowed by sadness and tragedy.


It would be remiss of us not to recognise the phenomenal security operations exercised by core law enforcement agencies, partners and volunteers during the contrasting events of this year: our late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee which


was enjoyed across the world with a uniting bond, followed by the Queen's sad passing and the proclamation of King Charles III.


We must anticipate that 2023 will bring increasing demands on our profession. The unjustifiable war by Putin in Ukraine, the difficult economic climate and the ever-increasing economic and cyber crime activities will place a heavy strain on our communities and our enforcement agencies.


The City of London Crime Prevention Association reaches its 20th anniversary in January 2023 and continues to fulfil all its activities, including enhancing its relationships with the City of London Police, Metropolitan Police Service, British Transport Police, the City Security Council and the Security Institute. Together we are exploring further areas of preventative action in respect of Violence Against Women and Girls and other similar areas.


On your behalf may I wish the outgoing City of London Corporation Town Clerk, John Barradell, every success in the next chapter of his career and thank him for the ten years of support he has given us.


Accepting the difficult times ahead, on behalf of the Committee and the magazine may I wish you, your partners, friends and loved ones a happy festive period and a safe New Year.


Don Randall MBE, Chairman Introducing this issue


This issue focuses on the year ahead with insights from senior representatives from across the security sector. There are informed views on the risks and threats that face us and expert advice on how to meet these challenges.


We include an interview with Assistant Commissioner Peter O’Doherty, City of London Police, who leads the policing response to fraud and cyber crime, and feature updates from CPNI and Counter Terror Policing.


This year’s City Security magazine 2022 Article of the Year Award is kindly supported by Genetec, Professional Security Officer Live and City of London Crime Prevention Association. You can see the list of ten finalists on page 27.


We must also say a big thank you to all our editorial contributors for supplying us with such a high standard of informative security-related articles and to all our advertisers, without whom it would not be possible to deliver the magazine free to our readers.
