Specifically, digital video can be split into two copies, the first of which is blurred such that faces and body features are masked. The second copy is encrypted with a key whose use is restricted and leaves an indelible audit trail.


As the mechanisms of this technology become understood by the public, confidence will grow in the ability of the authorities to ensure safety without threatening privacy. Therefore, security and privacy are not a zero- sum game.


Security footage with privacy masking capabilities will allow authorities to conduct court-authorised forensic investigations without exposing the identities of citizens captured by immaterial footage. The knowledge that the justice system can access footage with due process will deter anti-social and destructive behaviour.

Threat of returning foreign fighters to


Western countries


It is commonly accepted that that the threat of returning foreign fighters is a significant problem and that the terrorist networks of returning fighters and homegrown violent extremists are more organised and insulated than previously thought.


The threat of ISIL-directed attacks by returning foreign fighters and/or homegrown violent extremists is more acute in the EU than in the US and this can be aligned directly to the challenge of the continued European mass migrant problems, which is giving local government a lot to think about in relation to stricter border controls, and it is clear that this crisis is long term. Many of the foreign fighters from Europe who joined ISIL have criminal records and whilst a lot is now being done in the UK to identify early radicalisation, the instigators and facilitators driving radical initiatives forward must be identified at the earliest opportunities and this can only be achieved with the help of the general public through awareness and communication programmes, driven with the help of business.


With the Nice attacks in the south of France, the low level of sophistication and ease of terror concept now has everyone on a new level of threat awareness going into 2017. The adaptability of terrorists to mitigate the vulnerability of communications through the use of burner phones, victim cell phones and encryption, presents a significant challenge to all law enforcement and intelligence agencies and their ability to disrupt terrorist activities.

more significance now than ever before. Whether natural or man-made, the way your organisation responds to a major incident will affect the safety of all employees. Accepting that it could happen to you, the when not if, and having an appropriate plan in place may be the key to business survival post any major incident; that coupled with strong leadership from crisis inception will be paramount to damage limitation.

We cannot afford to be complacent


There remains a significant


desire amongst terrorist organisations to mount an attack on mainland Britain which is reflected in the number that have been prevented by the security services. As an industry it is incumbent on us to support their work by ensuring that both our clients and our staff are regularly informed of the threat and empowered to react in the event of an incident.


Businesses need to ensure that their risk management and business continuity plans are regularly reviewed and tested. Security officers need to be constantly reminded of the significant part they play in countering the CT threat and that they are able to recognise acts of hostile reconnaissance and react appropriately. This cohesive response will play a significant part in the fight against terrorism and ensure that we are best placed to react in the event of an attack.


The cyber threat is probably the biggest challenge that UK PLC will face in 2017, closely followed by the insider threat, but the one I would like to concentrate on is the erosion of policing in the face of the significant budgetary constraints imposed upon them. Whilst the politicians will point to falling crime figures as a measure of success and the lack of impact of diminishing budgets, it couldn’t be further from the truth. In order to try and provide a service the police have had to return to the basics of responding to calls for assistance and the investigation of crime.


Detectives have increased workloads, which is reducing their effectiveness and ability to identify crime patterns and trends. Patrol officers are responding to more and more calls, impacting on the quality of service they are able to provide. The reassuring sight of a ‘bobby on the beat’ has become a rarity and morale amongst the police service is falling. The impact on both the public and the security world is significant, and whilst this presents opportunities for security, I would rather see a return to a healthy visible, policing service.

Intelligence-led security: the key to combating today’s threats


We have all witnessed the rapid global increase in terrorism in recent months. Correspondingly, we have an opportunity to work smarter to safeguard people, property and assets from extremism by moving from the traditional ‘guarding’ to a modern ‘protective services’ approach – utilising well- trained and managed officers who are able to exploit today’s leading edge technology in their everyday work.


With the traditional guarding model largely no longer appropriate, we are able to provide many other services alongside our primary security services. This delivers proactive, predictive and preventive risk-based solutions in response to our customers’ requirements and expectations, but it requires reliable intelligence to be successful.


Today’s intelligence-led security can deliver measurable crime reduction and prevention, and a safer environment. However, this is dependent on good intelligence capture, analysis and dissemination, requiring the creation of a robust intelligence collection plan. This in turn demands close collaboration with both the customer and local and national law enforcement. The result: actionable insight enabling more effective planning and use of our resources in delivering predictive, preventive and proactive protection.


Investment in the recruitment, training and retention of our Protective Services Officers is also paramount to ensure they are fully conversant with the mechanisms and operation of this intelligence-led model. This is the only way forward in creating a safer and more secure environment for all of our customers and public communities.

Preparing for the worst News of attacks on the public


– whether shopping centre shootings or a bomb attack – give a sense of increasing powerlessness.


However, we have been here before. In the early nineties a major London campaign by the IRA saw more than 60 incidents in London alone.
