WINTER 2021 WELCOME A IMPACT ON AFGHAN TAKEOVER SECURITY ORGANISATIONS & POLICE LOOK AHEAD


warm welcome to our winter edition which looks ahead to 2022, with opinions and insights from a range of senior representatives from policing, security organisations and security providers. We look into the cyber threat and how to respond; innovation in technology and how it will continue to support security; and the continuing impact of the global pandemic.


As is traditional, we first include a review of 2021 and assessment of the challenges ahead in 2022 from the Chairman of both the City of London Crime Prevention Association and the City Security magazine Editorial Committee: Don Randall, MBE CSyP.

Our thoughts reach out to the families of those who have passed away or been unwell as a consequence of COVID-19 and everyone harmed by terrorism, other criminal activities or natural incidents. Our sincere thanks go to the NHS and the other emergency and resilience organisations who have looked after us over the last two difficult years.


This edition highlights that the threats and risks from further acts of terrorism, violence, fraud and cyber crime will undoubtedly continue. However, by working in partnership, sharing good practice, ideas and understanding, we aim to do all we can to prevent these happening. When they do occur, we support the victims and agencies tasked to respond.


On behalf of the Association, I can assure you of our absolute commitment and application in supporting these aims and actions. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supports the work of the City of London Crime Prevention Association, including our speakers, the City of London Police and our committee.


Best wishes for a Happy Christmas and a peaceful 2022. Don Randall, MBE CSyP
