Can You Spot The Threat

What is the Threat

Treat Actors don't always advertise themselves. They could also be a disgruntled staff member, an aggrieved customer, who knows?

There’s no single profile. They may also have mental health or post traumatic injuries which take them to commit a crime.

“The big challenge for a business and the public is, how do we recognize these people?”.

More to the point how do we deal with them and protect ourselves!

Protection Responsibilities

If you are in an area or sector that is regarded at elevated risk from terrorism, you should act by taking certain actions and putting in place counter-terrorism protective security measures. Crowded Places risk assessments and plans now being one of those areas.

Risk and Vulnerability Analysis Specifically

Terrorism is not a single threat, we will analyse different scenarios such as person-borne suicide attack, active shooter, bio and corrosive substance attack & other methods etc.

Emergency Plans –

Which Provides direction on how to deal with a terrorism emergency, ranging from the receipt of information about a threat to how to deal with the aftermath of a direct attack. The Emergency Plan focusses inwards, identifying tasks, resources, and personnel responsible for managing the direct effects of an attack.

There are Two schools of thought which exist in regard to the emergency plan.

One is that we should develop generic emergency plans and populate them with incident-specific annexes. The other is that separate emergency plans should be developed for specific emergencies, the nature of which is so substantially different to standard emergencies that it requires a separate plan.

We aim to simplify matters rather dependent on the venue size, design, makeup, and any outcomes from the initial survey report and inclusive of your compliant Fire Risk Assessment.

Incentive and Investment

We believe there is a circle of positive business dependencies for all venue owners and local authorities to work together on to keep people safe and the money coming in; and the below but not limited to are all linked in the chain of that dependency:

· Safety and Security of People and Assets,

· Income streams of business rates, taxes, and licensing fees.

· Insurance income streams to furnish the caveats of business operations for all parties involved.

· Turnover of stock and goods from UK suppliers,

· Utilities payments of fuel and light,

· Employment of people in this service sector,

· The value that entertainment venues have on local towns and their image,

· Profit of investment for stakeholders,

· Ultimately, cash income for all parties when venue remains open.

Bad Publicity is the nail in the coffin for a venue now – Media & Information Security

The consequences of incidents in venues such as crime, especially assaults of any description, even worse; a fatality, will shut your business and reputation down in an instant. Even to the point it may well transfer to any potential or new owners.

Due to an array of multimedia platforms “Google” Platforms, GEO locations are stored forever when incidents occur.

Even now when a photograph is taken at your venue it will GEO locate not only the exact location of your venue but will also GEO locate everyone linked to the phone or device which took the media.

So! What is the answer? Simple!

Do not have incidents which attract negative publicity!
