T
he COVID-19 global pandemic in 2020 will be one of this century’s most important historical events, giving rise to unprecedented challenges,
immense change, disruption, fatalities, long-term illness and economic issues for many years to come.
It is clear that those who work in security have responded robustly to this challenge, demonstrating to the wider community the expertise, flexibility and responsibility that are the hallmarks of the people working in this sector. The
acknowledgement of security operatives being categorised as ‘essential workers’ is but one of many endorsements of their professionalism and response.
Resilience and recovery are key components of our industry. We have encouraged organisations to put in place business continuity and emergency planning to enable them to continue and survive. For some, the current crisis has highlighted the areas that must be reviewed, including working from home, cyber risk, travel restrictions and the impact of COVID-19 on the well-being of their staff.
Collaboration and partnership has been, and will continue to be, a key theme. Through 2020, this magazine has showcased the work of many individuals and organisations working together and we will continue to share ideas and positive advice to support the response to COVID-19.
As we move into 2021 and beyond, it is impossible to predict when the pandemic will be over. However, we do know that other risks and threats have not gone away. Terrorism, extremism and civil unrest remain major threats to our peace and safety. Recent attacks in Europe evidence the ongoing radicalisation and recruitment to these activities.
Cybercrime, including state sponsored attacks, intending to cause harm to businesses and individuals, is unlikely to reduce. We must encourage constant vigilance against these forms of attack, especially when people are working remotely with increased security risks.
During these troubling times, with the immense pressure they bring, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supports the work of the City of London Crime Prevention Association, including our members, speakers, the City of London Police, the blue-light services and our committee.
On behalf of all at City Security magazine and the CoLCPA, I wish you a peaceful and restful Christmas holiday period with those you love and care for.
Stay safe and well and we look forward to seeing you as early as the situation allows in 2021.
