... FROM THE INDUSTRY
Company of Security Professionals
Association of Security Consultants
Peter French, Master of the Company, writes: In 1999 when the Guild of Security Professionals was founded, we volunteers were slightly daunted at the prospect of raising £350,000 in charitable funds. From the very beginning Professional Security was one of the most active supporters of the Guild. The experience of the Peter French publisher, John Cully, a Guild founder member, in communications and development enabled the Guild to ‘punch above our weight’ from day one. Eight years later, and the now Company of Security Professionals is on the cusp of petitioning to be a Worshipful Livery Company. Our work in supporting individuals and organisations is growing annually. Our Trustees seek to assist individuals in need who have served in the profession of security. In that time practioners in security have seen the function increasingly diverse and grow in importance. Professional Security continues to be at the forefront in reporting developments in this sector. The support we continue to receive from Professional Security, and John Cully in particular, is as strong today as it was at our inception. www.securityprofessionals.org.uk
Colin Braziel, Chairman, Association of Security Consultants, writes: The ASC is delighted to participate in Professional Security’s 2008 Yearbook. This publication is a welcome addition to the security industry and will be a useful reference for Colin Braziel events throughout 2008. A series of incidents over recent years has brought security to the forefront of everyone’s minds, not only to the security professional, but also into the public domain. This had led to an increase of those involved within the security industry, and with this has come the inevitable introduction of legislation and regulation. Founded in 1991, the ASC is recognised as the professional organisation for independent security consultants, representing their interests and promoting their activities. Members of the ASC are leading experts in their fields, and can provide specialist knowledge and breadth of experience in all security disciplines. This makes the ASC a unique and superior source of security expertise. The ASC holds regular gatherings, forums

and seminars throughout the year, which are open to members and guests. These events keep members up to date with the latest trends and developments in security, including technology, application and legislation, and provide an excellent opportunity for networking. CONSEC (the international conference/exhibition and showcase of the ASC) will be in its 14th year in 2008, and goes from strength to strength by obtaining high profile speakers who provide a wealth of expertise and experience gained in such diverse fields as, but not limited to, commerce, the financial industry, the armed services and the police service. The ASC sees some exciting and interesting times ahead, and will continue to make a significant contribution to the security industry and the ongoing process of providing international and national standards. Professional Security plays an important role in providing detailed and accurate information to all involved within the security industry, and the ASC wishes the magazine every success for 2008. info@securityconsultants.org.uk www.securityconsultants.org.uk

Introductions
Security Industry Authority Michael Wilson, Chief Executive writes: I have been asked what my agenda is for the Security Industry Authority. It simply doesn’t work that way. The ‘authority’ created by the Private Security Industry Act 2001 is actually the SIA board. Mike Wilson And although responsibility for the dayto-day business of running the SIA has been delegated to me by the board, it is the board and ministers who set the strategic direction for the organisation – not the chief executive. The chief executive is not even a member of the board. That is not to say that the executive doesn’t have a role to play in setting the strategic direction of the SIA and in deciding its position on key issues affecting the security industry. That role involves identifying options and making recommendations to the board, and working with the board and other stakeholders (especially ministers and Home Office officials) to develop and agree the strategic direction. That direction is articulated formally each year in the corporate plan. The Corporate Plan for the period financial year 08/09 to FY10/11 will be in place by April 2008. A draft framework for the plan has already been

prepared by the executive and the board. It will be discussed by the chair and ministers shortly, after which an ‘annual direction’ letter will be sent from the Home Office to the authority. The annual direction will confirm the mission of the authority and will outline strategic objectives and priorities to be reflected in the corporate plan. The authority will draft the corporate plan using guidance from the annual direction, and the draft will be agreed in turn by the SIA board and ministers, after which it will be published as a public document. This year’s corporate plan is likely to indicate a change in posture rather than a fundamental change in direction for the authority. It will reflect the fact that the authority is now more or less fully in place, with the management emphasis shifting from setting up the organisation to running it – providing a better service. Importantly, there will be clearer recognition that the higher standards that come with regulation should be better understood and more formally advocated within Government, in industry, and in society as part of the wider crime fighting family. The plan will show the SIA will take a more prominent role in promoting this recognition. The plan will also show that the authority will seek early resolution of the position on ‘open’ issues such as inhouse guarding, and the licensing of enforcement agents, private investigators and precognition agents. The position on security consultants will be clarified. A fair bit of discussion and ‘word-smithing’ has to be gone through before the plan sees the light of day. This note gives an indication of the emerging strategic direction and objectives. I would welcome comment.
The Security Institute Bill Wyllie, chairman, writes: “We are pleased to support this publication, and see it as a useful addition to the resources available to security professionals in the UK.The Security Institute [SyI], incorporating the International Institute of Security, is a 950-member organisation based in the Bill Wyllie UK, having 12 per cent of its membership based overseas. Membership is through validation of an individual's qualifications, experience and training, and applications are reviewed on a monthly basis. The institute's academic board is also working closely with security education providers and standard setters, to ensure suitable qualifications exist and are promoted in order to raise academic standards in this business sector. This is particularly relevant to support the institute plans towards achieving chartered status for security professionals. SyI are also actively developing links to support the International aspect of its work, whilst continuing to merge partnerships with aligned organisations in the UK. Networking plays an important part of SyI activities, and this is developed through a programme of business and social events across the UK. ● TSI’s annual dinner is on April 10; its first members’ meetings for 2008 are on January 10 (London) and 24 (Merseyside).

The prices for everything from hotels to sandwiches and a bottle of water - even the Wetherspoon’s next door - are outrageous and cynical. The car parking is in the next county, and maybe your hotel is too. At four days it is arguably a day too long. Why then is IFSEC the event of the UK security year? Because it is, and has been for ages, and no rival event comes close. The days of torture walking or standing on the exhibition floors are only half of it - the evenings’ events and booze have led to the downfall of at least one chief! It’s worth a day to see the world’s electronic security technology under one roof - though the jury is out still as to whether the
guarding village, pushed by the organisers the last couple of years in the flush of the Security Industry Authority licence regime, is worth it. And ACPO left the neighbouring policing exhibition next door, to set up their own show (see June calendar, next page). But IFSEC continues to evolve - early news from the organisers is that there’s a smart card and RFID area for the first time beside the eight other dedicated product areas. As ever there are conferences and seminars on topical issues such as counter-terror and IP convergence. Live demos are promised of conflict management, drug and bomb detections; and concealed weapons. YEARBOOK 2008

A Look Ahead
PREDICTIONS FOR MARKET
Tough times ahead but don’t be hasty Industry analyst Plimsoll has taken a look at the market and has predictions for 2008.
E
scalating economic worries, higher prices and tighter spending will combine to make 2008 a much tougher year in the security market, according to the business analysts. The company’s senior analyst, David Pattison, says: “Almost every sector of British business stands at a crossroads as it prepares for the coming 12 months. With uncertainty in the economy, some will want to sit tight and do nothing radical. Others will need to cut costs quickly to weather the possible storm. But some who have built up large cash reserves will be looking at this period of difficulty to make acquisitions at a bargain price. So which category are you likely to find yourself in? The average growth in the security sector in 2007 has been 6.4 per cent. Growth was by no means universal. Some 36pc of companies actually saw their sales decline. It’s important, however, not to confuse sales with profit. Some smaller firms, with a turnover of £3m or less, lost out on sales but still enjoyed healthy margins. They did so by keeping their costs under control and by carving out a specialist area in the market. These firms have managed to do very nicely for themselves by trading in niche products.”
Forward thinking “In general, if you’re setting your budget for 2008, you should aim for a growth target of at least 4pc. Frankly, though, you should expect to beat this with a combination of imagination, forward thinking and spotting the opportunities that others have missed. With pressure on sales certain to come, some companies will need to cut costs in 2008. Sadly, for most the term ‘costcutting’ translates into ‘job losses’. Ernst and Young are already offering 12 YEARBOOK 2008

services to help firms implement cost reduction programmes, and more of this will come as the pressure increases. My advice is to reduce costs as part of a planned long-term strategy, rather than doing so in panic mode. By the time you do the latter, it’s usually too late. But don’t be too hasty – 2007 was not a bad year overall, with margins averaging 4.2pc. Indeed, for some exceptional companies, that percentage was in the mid teens – in some cases for the second year.
Takeover “At the other end of the scale, those firms that find themselves in difficulty should not buy into the hype that they will be safe from takeover because potential bidders won’t want to take risks against the background of a chaotic credit market. Arguably, there has never been a better time to go on the offensive, and companies with large cash surpluses will be able to make some dirt-cheap acquisitions in 2008 as others begin to fail. The predators in cases like this are likely to see growth much greater than the industry average during the coming 12 months. Takeover targets are probably relatively safe for the next few months, but once the early jitters of 2008 are over, the buyers will circle and pounce. So which companies will have an unhappy new year? Well, anyone who is already finding it a struggle is likely to experience even tougher times unless immediate measures are taken to reduce costs and improve margins. Any company with escalating debts will certainly find it difficult to stay competitive, and even in some cases to survive. If your company falls into this category, the warning lights should already be on. In short, then, a difficult year ahead, but those who take steps to streamline their business model or who supply a particular demand can expect to emerge in a relatively healthy position.” ❐ Visit www.plimsoll.co.uk
A world o The Beijing Olympics will spur a flurry of hacker activity such as compromises of popular Olympic news or other sports sites. They are among the predictions for 2008 from an IT security firm. Dan Hubbard, vice president of security research, Websense, said: "Looking at the current attack trends, cyber criminal techniques are evolving quickly and efficiently to not only evade detection, but to steal data and manipulate trusted content such as websites and applications. It's critical that organisations and individuals recognise that attackers are changing techniques and launching targeted attacks." Threat predictions include:
Olympics, phishing, fraud Sport and other event-based attacks and scams are popular, and with the whole world watching, the 2008 Olympics may fuel a surge in cyberattacks. Websense researchers predict the possibility of large scale denial-ofservice (DoS) attacks on Beijing Olympic-related sites as political statements and fraud attempts through email and the web surrounding the Games. Also, the IT firm predicts compromises of popular Olympic news or other sports sites; attacks designed to install malicious code on end-users' machines and steal personal Go to page or confidential business 13 information.

Web 2.0 has spawned a proliferation of web users that visit chat rooms, social networking sites, and special interest web sites such as travel sites. These sites provide attackers with potential victims that fall in a certain age group, wealth bracket, or people with particular buying habits. Might attackers go more for specific social networking or special interest sites that have a higher probability of a payoff?
Killer question for the SIA Late 2007 saw a brief blizzard of unwelcome publicity for the Security Industry Authority over thousands of SIA licences for illegal immigrants. Mark Rowe looks at what 2008 might bring for the authority.
of threats Malicious SPAM Hackers will increasingly use Web spam to post URLs to malicious sites within forums, blogs, in the commentary or "talk-back" sections of news sites and on compromised Web sites. This activity not only drives traffic to the infected websites but also assists in the purveyor's site sitting higher on search engine rankings, increasing the risk that users will visit the site. Attackers will increasingly exploit the weakest links in the web infrastructure, to target the greatest number of internet users. Most vulnerable to these attacks are search engines and large user networks such as MySpace, Facebook or other social networking sites.
Vishing The vast cell phone user population has grown into a lucrative market to exploit with spamming and "vishing" for financial gain. To date, researchers have seen an increased number of vishing attacks but not a lot of spam-or proactive automated calling. Vishing, or the practice of using social engineering and Voice over IP (VoIP) to gain personal and financial information and voice spam will combine and increase-users will receive automated voice calls on LAN lines with voice spam to lure them to input their credentials by mobile ’phone. ❐ To subscribe to threat research, alerts, visit www.websensesecuritylabs.com and visit www.websense.com
H
ow would you like to have a killer on your guardforce? It may be a tasteless question. The Private Security Industry Act 2001 came about because of the wish to root out the rogues, those in positions of trust with a criminal record. But for centuries what seems fine in Westminster has not necessarily translated well in Belfast and Derry. Since SIA licences for guards and others became the law in Scotland in November 2007, Northern Ireland was the only part of the UK where SIA licences do not apply. They will do, though Home Office minister Vernon Coaker was careful not to give a date, when he spoke to the Skills for Security annual conference at Oxford in November 2007. SfS by the way deserves credit for running a separate conference for trainers and the training world in Belfast later that month; the security industry’s bodies and mainland UK in general has been guilty of overlooking Northern Ireland.
Peace process Northern Ireland was left to last, presumably, because it’s most difficult to deal with. After the Troubles, loyalist and republican paramilitaries alike have (just about) forsaken violence. As part of the peace process, prisoners on both sides were freed. Door and security work was one field to go into. If the province let bygones be bygones about some of the most sickening crimes of living memory, why deny the former terrorist killers the SIA licence to work a door, or own a security business? But to return to the start of this article, the SIA licence is like a driving licence. Once NI joins the SIA regime, whether you apply from Enniskillen, Inverness or Penzance, you can work the same in
England, Scotland or Wales or NI. Meanwhile, NI has seen terrorism replaced by organised crime, such as tiger kidnaps, diesel and other smuggling, and counterfeit goods such as Rangers and Celtic football wear. On that point, NI has much in common with Scotland: it is a matter of public record that Scots police point to links between organised criminals, moneylaundering, and guarding companies, particularly serving constructions sites. In other words, ‘rogue’ security firms that the PSIA, and the tens of millions of pounds spent so far on the SIA, in a word that regulation was meant to stamp out. In its first site checks after licensing came in in Scotland, the SIA reported disappointing that a large number of security operatives were deployed without SIA licences.
Investigators Besides, 2008 should see a decision on how or indeed whether the SIA will licence private investigators (PIs) and precognition agents. How well the licence is enforced will be everything, as ever. PIs are largely one or two-man bands and only a minority take the trouble to pay to be members of representative bodies. Even inside those bodies, which might be seen as the most likely allies of the SIA, to do away with the rogues, there are some querying whether the regulator will be able to police whatever they lay down. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has a finger in this pie, having pointed an accusing finger at PIs for blagging or stealing data, for clients ranging from newspapers to councils and insurers chasing debts and checking claims. Parliament may act. As in non-security sectors, can the regulators get to the bottom of the subcontractors and agencies that do the dirty work? The ICO and SIA may have more regulating on their plate if the national CCTV strategy (see separate article) leads to a registration scheme for all CCTV users. The big question for UK plc: in a world where customer data and indeed CCTV and alarm and other data over Internet Protocol can whizz overseas, how do we protect the law-abiding against the crooked, and enforce a level playing field so service providers are not under-cut by the corner-cutters? ❐ YEARBOOK 2008

That could be a fire, a flood or some other act of nature; an act of terrorism; or some IT or other process failure. Whatever it is, if it hinders or halts the business, you can be sure that in some way it will land on the plate of the security department.
Why is business continuity (BC) something for the security manager? A head of security explained to Mark Rowe.
G
ordon Irving, director of group security at utility Scottish Power, said that his firm saw security, business continuity, and disaster recovery as very much linked. Over the last year the company has put BC plans into action about 15 times, for various things, from a flood to IT issues. “Say for instance if one of your sites goes down, particularly in relation to a call centre.” Say that call centre has 300 staff, but next door there’s a tyre factory; if there’s a fire, there’s smoke, and the fire authorities might deny access to your site. When your BC plan kicks in, security staff are involved. So, among other things, are IT people, who have to make sure that IT systems transfer to the back-up site.
Know the organisation Gordon Irving went on to say that an organisation’s crisis management needs someone who has knowledge of the organisation: “And from a security angle you do have that knowledge of your company, your organisation.” That includes your IT; and the people element, such as links with the local authorities and their emergency planning people, police, fire, and if it’s to do with terrorism, perhaps even the Security Services.
British Standard A year ago, British Standards brought out BS 25999 part1 – a code of practice for business continuity management, offering a guide. Gordon said: “I have been an advocate of having a standard,” because now, rather than having to rely on a 14 YEARBOOK 2008
PROFESSIONAL SECURITY
consultant to set the bar on a standard, an organisation of whatever size has a standard that they can make BC plans and processes to. The British Standard - BSI has published BS 25999-2, Specification for Business Continuity Management - is a sign of how BC is maturing, something Gordon has seen too.
Principles Scottish Power is an electricity and gas firm in the main, but it was interesting to hear from Gordon echoes of principles voiced at the emergency planning training for universities (see separate article, in the January 2008 issue of Professional Security). Gordon said: “No matter where you are, your business continuity plans are crafted to suit your organisation, but the basics are there now; the same principles actually do apply.” For example, every organisation holds data; what if something happens to your data centre? where is the data housed? how many times is it backed up? what if your organisation was physically denied access to the data centre for one week, or two or three? Whether you are a university, a retailer or some other: you look at what is really important, what makes your place tick; and make plans accordingly. “I wouldn’t want anybody to plan for everything; you have to plan for what is important, what makes your place tick.” And: people in your organisation have to know you are planning. You have to test plans, too. ❐ About Gordon Irving: A 30-year police man; head of Special Branch in Strathclyde for a number of years. Has been at Scottish Power for seven years.
UK businesses are increasingly prepared for disruption or disaster according to BSI British Standards’ annual Business Barometer, it is claimed. The research found: ● 81pc of FTSE companies would
expect to last up to one week before feeling serious detrimental effects following disruption or disaster ● Almost two thirds (63pc) are very well prepared for serious IT failure ● Half of businesses surveyed are fully
Plan for what ’ s vital prepared for a forced office relocation ● Almost half (47pc) are fully prepared for comprehensive supply chain failure. BSI’s annual survey of FTSE 250 companies shows that 71pc recognise the importance of Business Continuity Management (BCM) in staying competitive and winning new business in the future. This is a 10pc increase on 2006’s Business Barometer, the London-based body reports.
What they say Mike Low, Director of BSI British Standards, said: “The scale of risk and opportunity in the FTSE 250 are enormous and these organisations are recognising that BCM has to be at the heart of their operations. It’s also crucial for smaller organisations and those in other sectors to look seriously at how they would cope in the event of a disaster. This year’s Business Barometer shows improvement in the

The security manager is well placed, it is claimed, to have a central role in your organisation’s management of a crisis, because it can be the security man or woman who knows all the pieces of the organisation’s chess board, as it were, and how they work together
employment and economic growth placed at risk.”
Better prepared
preparedness of organisations for serious failure of their infrastructure which is really positive but there is still room for improvement. That’s why BSI has published BS 25999-2, Specification for Business Continuity Management, which enables organisations to verify their BCM plans through independent certification. The standard can be used in an organisation of any size or sector and provides a mechanism to ensure that their partners and supplies also have appropriate BCM procedures in place.” In September, BSI also launched an online BCM assessment tool, which Mike described as particularly useful for SMEs wishing to assess their BCM capabilities.
Terror threats Events of the last year have prompted many businesses to reconsider their approach to BCM: ● 42pc reviewed their approach to
BCM following the London and Glasgow terror alerts in June 2007 ● 34 per cent reviewed their approach to BCM following the widespread flooding throughout summer 2007.
Those companies already using British or international standards as a matter of course were found to be better prepared, with 56pc saying that their business would be very well prepared for failure in the supply chain, compared with 47pc overall. Some 62pc of businesses, compared with 46pc in 2006, are required by customers to show that they have effective business continuity measure in place. Some 72pc now ask all or some of their own suppliers to do the same. BSI says its research shows that businesses are increasingly recognising the value of BCM. More companies are ‘very well prepared’ for; ● failure in the supply chain: 47 per
cent (45pc in 2006; 18pc in 2005) ● catastrophic IT failure: 63 per cent
Supply chains Despite an rise in overall preparedness on last year, the barometer shows that more businesses would be affected by disruption or disaster more quickly than in 2006. Some 58pc said that their business would be seriously affected in under a day, compared with 46pc in 2006. Chris Green, Chairman, Business Continuity Institute, and Chairman of the BSI business continuity committee, said: “The need for robust BCM standards such as BS 25999-2 is clear. By following the requirements of the standard, organisations can improve enterprise stability, increase job security and ensure the flow of money into communities. Without BCM standards in place, infrastructure and supply chains may be less secure and

Parts 1 and 2 BS 25999-2, Specification for Business Continuity Management, complements BS 25999-1, Guide to Business Continuity, published in November 2006. Part 2 has been developed and specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, operating and improving a documented Business Continuity Management System. The requirements of BS 25999-2 are generic and intended to be applicable to all organisations, regardless of type, size and nature of business. ❐ Visit www.bsi-global.com YEARBOOK 2008

Security Management
STRATEGY FOR UK After years of uncertainty, the national CCTV strategy published at the end of 2007 offers a new era for public space CCTV users maybe. Mark Rowe reports.
A
local authority CCTV manager tells the story of a very senior police officer standing in his control room and saying 'I don't need your CCTV, Mr X [not his real name].' The ironic thing is that the officer's career since has proved that the police, and that individual officer, do in fact need CCTV. More than a dozen years after public space CCTV came into vogue, first with the John Major Tory Government, then with Labour after 1997, only now with the publication of the Home Office-led CCTV strategy are the authorities actually backing up the hundreds of millions of central Government money spent on CCTV infrastructure with joined-up thinking and standards for its best use.
Crucial evidence The strategy document did, in the civil service's diplomatic language, hint that those not making use of CCTV are not so much the operators and councils, but investigating police. Besides the senior police officers described above, whose time on the beat dates from before mass CCTV, there are detectives with 25 or 30 years' service whose attitude is that it's not for them to collect CCTV evidence. And yet it's a matter of public record that after 7-7 and 21-7 CCTV was the first and crucial evidence for police. It's not giving away a state secret to deduce that when, as in the car bomb plots of summer 2007, suspected conspirators were the likes of doctors, who do not have criminal records, and are not on the radar of the criminal justice system, CCTV is an important tool, to identify and track suspects. However - and it is far from the only example in private security - for anyone to go into public detail about this use of CCTV is to risk alerting the bad guys.
Two legs good, four bad So we are left with the CCTV of everyday life having to earn its corn. And a couple of hospital examples 16 YEARBOOK 2008
PROFESSIONAL SECURITY
What road for CCTV? from the Professional Security files point to the practical obstacles to making the national CCTV strategy work. First, there was the hospital CCTV manager who got angry after this manager was quoted calling the old CCTV system worse than awful and almost unwatchable, and giving the case of the missing person who was from the CCTV footage, a person on two legs - not a sheep on four - but beyond that you could not tell from the images. And the old control room was cramped. The manager should have thought before speaking, which is by the by. The point is that without a national strategy - agreed ways of putting a ergonomic, smooth-working control room together, and ways to get the best out of cameras, lenses and so on - each consultant, hospital trust, council, university and so on has had to re-invent the wheel. Public space cameras have been fitted in grotesque places that are impossible for an engineer to reach easily and safely; and the images they produce are not much use. Or as the national strategy put it: "The quality of images recorded by CCTV systems varies considerably. Anecdotal evidence suggests that over 80 per cent of the CCTV footage
supplied to the police is far from ideal, especially if it is being used for primary identification or identities are unknown and identification is being sought, for instance, by media release." Yes, the Home Office Scientific Development Branch (HOSDB) issued guidance documents in the 1990s and introduced the Rotakin device to test the quality of the displayed image. But as the strategy added, it is widely accepted that the Rotakin test needs to be updated for use with digital CCTV systems: "There are also concerns that the documents in the series are not more widely used, especially by small CCTV users."
Empty control room Like any tool, then, public space CCTV is only as good as its users , which brings us to the second story, of Professional Security being shown around a large hospital by the security manager, who worked for an outsourced facilities management company. The CCTV system of 120 or so cameras came with an uncramped and up to date control room, as demonstrated by a security officer. That officer, wearing an anti-stab vest,

government and other bodies, including some not famous for taking an interest in CCTV, the CCTV strategy will take some co-ordinating.
Money
CCTV in public space: A column and camera on High Street in the centre of Oxford Photo by Mark Rowe left the control room, at the same time as the security manager and Professional Security, to go on patrol. The control room door was locked, and that expensive piece of kit was left to itself. You could say - and indeed the first hospital manager quoted above did say so - that CCTV saves time and untold effort, by proving for example from a search of footage that someone or something has not been through the doors. Or in the case of a slippage or fall, CCTV footage may show that the workplace is not liable, saving on damage claims. But as more than a reactive tool, as a way of alert operators spotting crime before it happens, and deterring criminals who get caught and learn a lesson - you only get out of CCTV what you put into it. Like much else in life.
PCMA meet Where do we go from here? That was the title of a talk by Ian Cunningham, strategy project manager at the Home Office, and one of the strategy’s authors, to the November 2007 meeting of the Public CCTV Managers Association (PCMA). In the six weeks or so since the strategy was published
on October 19, it was downloaded 15,000 times, 'so it's certainly out there,' Mr Cunningham said. The November 2007 launch of the strategy's programme board saw, he reported, everybody from across the CCTV world: the Association of Chief Police Officers, the British Security Industry Association, the Crown Prosecution, Department for Transport, Home Office, the HOSDB, the Office of the Information Commissioner, and from the PCMA, chairman Martin Lazell, the CCTV manager at the London borough of Kingston upon Thames. The list of attending organisations goes on: the Ministry of Justice, the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA), the SIA, which tellingly at first Ian Cunningham called the Security Industry Association before correcting himself to Security Industry Authority. The NPIA (www.npia.police.uk), Mr Cunningham went on, having the most resources and most recommendations to deal with, ‘reluctantly’, he said, have taken on the role of co-ordinating, ‘and almost being a secretariat to the other partners, and to drive a number of recommendations that affect the policing side’. Given so many
The table talk, for what it is worth: the experienced shire council CCTV manager sitting next to Professional Security gave his opinion of the strategy as ‘mixed’. Talk among CCTV managers and the elected councillors responsible for CCTV as part of community safety is of how to make ends meet. Central government funding for capital spending on CCTV - not for its day to day upkeep - ended in 2002. The Government does point to a (bewildering) number of pots of money that CCTV systems can bid for, but CCTV has to compete with other deserving ideas. As the strategy admits, ‘the funding issue is a serious threat to the future of CCTV’, and its authors do call for a dedicated government funding stream for CCTV. The strategy wonders if the police might contribute more. Or might a CCTV system fund itself, by monitoring alarms, bus lanes and traffic, or retail parks or other places for the private sector? But, as the strategy document worries aloud, might that detract from CCTV for law enforcement and crime prevention? These are among questions for the strategy’s proposed body ‘responsible for the governance and use of CCTV’. Which might get funds from a CCTV ‘registration scheme’?
Australian perspective Some perspective always comes in handy. Two visitors to the PCMA meeting were from Australia. Their city council brochures were uncannily like those produced by UK local government, only the accompanying photos suggested a sunnier climate. The phrases are similar if not the same - as part of a ‘safe city strategy’, CCTV was installed in 2001, interestingly called ‘safety cameras’ as the Australians want to distance themselves from the UK that they see as overwhelmed by CCTV. The visitors told Professional Security of how fear of terrorism is a driver for more cameras; and the visitors were particularly interested in vans with CCTV, for mobile surveillance. Perhaps the rest of the world can learn from the UK’s steps. ❐

Part of the international Securitas Systems Group, Bell Security has UK- and Ireland-wide security and fire systems operations, providing protection at over 12,000 sites for medium- and largesized organisations. Bell is recognised as a market-leading provider of security systems to the retail banking sector. Other sectors served include: commerce and property, criminal justice, government, healthcare, logistics/warehousing and transportation, museums and galleries, retail, seaports and airports, universities and colleges, utilities.

Date Established 1986 Expertise/Products Systems integrator with extensive pedigree in design, installation and ongoing maintenance of CCTV, access control and intruder & fire alarms. Clients Commercial, industrial and institutional organisations with major site and multi-site premises, eg: retail banks, utilities, universities, museums, logistics depots.

A systems integrator, Bell has access to the world’s leading technology brands and exploits the benefits of converging security, fire, communications and computing technologies to provide customer advantage. Integrated security solutions, (IP) networked, ‘enterprise solutions’ (those deployed across an entire organisation) combining access control, CCTV (digital video surveillance), intruder systems (and additional technologies such as biometrics and ANPR) can play a powerful role that often extends beyond minimising access/intruder risk threats. Bell Security’s systems experts can demonstrate that the information derived from skilful management of these technologies contributes to broader organisational efficiency and asset management. Service Support Options Bell Security offers a range of four service programme options Argentum, Aurum, Platinum and Platinum5. These were developed as part of a restructuring of its approach to providing ongoing service support for security systems. They represent a radical rethink of the way this service requirement is delivered in the UK and leverage investments made in facilities such as service support communications/database technologies and call centre/helpdesk installations. The programmes are based on a core of Bell-designated, fundamental, deliverable service response elements. Onto these the customer then builds progressively from ranges of 'enhancers', dependent on specific operational and organisational needs. Dependent variables include: the number and relative priorities of security disciplines involved, the age/condition of legacy systems and budgetary commitment periods. Enhancements can include the provision of materials, labour, remote systems management, access equipment, CAD support, staff training - even forward discount components and system elements renewal - within a programme package. Bell is a founding sponsor of CameraWatch (www.camerawatch.org.uk) - an organisation established in 2007 to support understanding of CCTV and compliance with current UK policy and legislation.

Castle’s Euro-MERiDIAN range of control panels, for example, was the world's first system designed for use in intruder alarm systems complying to EN50131-1 European standards.

Rest assured, skilled Castle engineers are constantly working to improve and enhance the product range so that it is always able to cope with tomorrow's challenging needs. The enhanced third generation Euro MERiDIAN range of control panels was recently launched to meet the demands of end users and installers facing the security challenges of the 21st century. It is fully expandable with access control and radio accessories and there are both grade 2 and 3 options, providing 10 to 280 inputs with iD and end of line technology.

They are the secure, cost effective and easy to use managed dual path signalling solutions. The fourth addition to Castle’s busy portfolio is the Castle CareCall system which is much more than a standard nurse call device.

Leading entrepreneur Mike Newton was responsible for setting up Dedicated Micros in July 1982 and is still heavily involved in the business as CEO and CTO of AD Group and Deputy Chairman of Dedicated Micros. Within two years of its the formation, Newton's business acumen had brought CCTV's first multiplexer to market a landmark in the industry. It was called the Cam-Plex, and proved to be an instant success. The company's product development surged in leaps and bounds with the System Sprite, Digital Sprite Lite and the market favourite, the Digital Sprite 2. DVRs became available for every market, from the four-camera Eco line for small business to the enterprise-level BX2. Dedicated Micros became an integral part of AD Group in 2001 - a business that Mike Newton also created - enabling it to take advantage of a common technological base alongside other Group companies including AD Aerospace, AD Network Video, D-Tec, RemGuard and TSS. In 2005, Dedicated Micros launched its first product line featuring NetVu Connected, a technology that guarantees complete interoperability and deep integration at a core system level between AD Group products - and increasingly those of third parties - giving maximum flexibility to customers to manage multiple locations and meet specialised requirements where added value such as Video Analytics can be embedded seamlessly. The continuing focus on innovation is underlined by the launch of the HighVu Excel enterprise range. This is a modular, expandable, high performance CCTV recording and IP transmission solution, with embedded analytics and scalable video wall capability, which represents a generational shift in the capability of systems in the enterprise field.

Company Details
Ipsotek, a leader in the video analytics market, is the only company in the world to provide full integration of video and audio analytics. Ipsotek’s Visual IntelligenceTM CCTV software solutions are being used at iconic UK sites including The O2 Arena and the London Eye. The software is used for applications where humans often struggle to monitor developments as they arise. These can cover traffic management, people counting, border security, counter-terrorism, abnormal pedestrian and vehicular movement, suspect packages, platform suicide and many forms of street crime or anti-social activity. Such behaviour includes but is not limited to prostitution/kerb crawling, drug dealing, abandoned vehicles, muggings, shoplifting and trackside intrusion.
Expertise/Products Video and audio analytics alerting clients to unusual behaviour and movement of people or vehicles through algorithm and vector-based scene evaluation. Specialist areas Development of site-specific alerts where activities are unique to the client’s operations. Full integration of video and audio analytics.
Building on behavioural algorithms and vector partitioning, Ipsotek’s development team can, whenever necessary, create innumerable site-specific alarm triggers covering individual needs.

With over 10 years’ experience in developing analytics solutions, Ipsotek has achieved several ‘firsts’, including scenario-based detection and virtual perspective. Ipsotek's Visual Intelligence Suite is based on algorithms that can analyse and detect potentially undesirable activity. Data from CCTV cameras is filtered and interpreted either in real-time or retrospectively. A scenario-based toolkit offers a spectrum of solutions from simple sterile zones and intruder alerts to complex combinations of triggers that can warn against more subtle behaviour such as car park surfing and ATM snooping. People counting can be used to alert against overcrowding at sports stadia or on train platforms while the software can even detect the specific movement and body language of somebody spraying graffiti. Recent applications include use of the perimeter intrusion and loitering modules to protect a security base in Afghanistan for ArmorGroup and combined video and audio analytics for a London borough. Ipsotek has recently opened the UK’s first video analytics training centre as part of its Partner Programme. Courses aimed at Value Added Resellers (VARS), specifiers, integrators and consultants are covering the theory and practice of behavioural analytics. The Partner Programme underlines the company’s status as a dominant force in the analytics sector with a track record of already-mature projects in this emerging technology. The experience covers many types of application including security, safety and logistics.

Milestone authorized partners also get certified in ongoing training sessions held worldwide to ensure greater satisfaction for customers. "Since release of the first Milestone IP-based software in the 1990s, a lot has happened in the security world. Hardly anyone was manufacturing IP cameras then, and the established Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) industry regarded IP-based surveillance as a mere child's toy, at best, or as a threat to their proprietary hardware and cable installations, at worst," explains Lars Thinggaard, CEO at Milestone Systems. "A decade later the many advantages of open IP technology had become evident: greater efficiency, cost effectiveness, flexibility, scalability, and integration with other systems like POS and ATMs, access control, analytics, etc." A broad customer base Milestone Systems has more than 25,000 customer installations worldwide in every sector - retail, finance, education, production, warehousing and distribution, transportation, property and building management, hospitality, healthcare, the military and government.

The future of lighting is surface mount technology. Compared to standard through hole LEDs, surface mount LEDs are a more robust solution increasing reliability and improving product life. They are also far more efficient at the dissipation of heat allowing the LEDs to run at higher power and achieve significantly improved performance. Vandal resistant The polycarbonate lens design protects against sever blow from crowbars, and baseball bats, and can even withstand shots from air pistols and rifles (range dependant). Energy saving All Raytec illuminators use high efficiency LEDs and advanced control methods to deliver extremely low electrical consumption. Raytec illuminators are energy saving and deliver huge savings in running costs compared to traditional bulb illuminators, with zero maintenance.

We'll make your security solutions work for the growth of your business.
'Work smarter, work smoother, integrate your business strategies, and share the common drive of increased bottom line delivery and ROI.' This is the mantra of modern business. But how do security solutions align with this? Traditionally, security solutions are regarded as essential, non-productive budget usurpers. They are a strain on the bottom line rather than an attribute to it. At RFMSolutions, we believe that your security solutions should be integral with the other key drivers of your business. Be an asset to the bottom line rather than a drain on it. So when we talk to our clients about security, we not only ensure that we demonstrate the innovative, objective robustness of our security solutions, we also talk about how they are integrated with other business functions to deliver return on investment and enhancement to the companies bottom line. Companies recognise the cost and efficiency benefits of integration; a concept that best matches your business, not only encompassing the obvious, but the entire breadth of company processes and procedures. From oilfield to palace, office to conference centre, RFMSolutions have the global reach, and the experience to make your security requirements contribute to the well being of your organisational profitability and efficiency.
Call +44(0)1959 533 311 if you would like to learn more about a productive approach to your security solutions or visit www.rfmsolutions.co.uk for further information. CPP: Board certified in security management.

With up to 4,000 placements per annum SSR have developed the most sophisticated applicant databases and attraction methodologies. Their directors are recognised as experts in their relevant sectors and are very involved in the profession of security. On visiting their offices you are totally surprised as to the enormity of the organisation that is SSR with over 70 head office staff and consultants. What is also striking is how many SSR consultants are from the sectors they recruit within. SSR’s rebate and replacement guarantees of up to 26 weeks is the most comprehensive in their sector. Peter French, Managing Director, comments: “We value our trusted relationships. It is important that our clients feel that we go that extra mile. I find it disappointing when companies recruiting in this sector lack an ethical approach to recruitment. We set increasing standards in response to changing needs of both applicant or client.”

SSR® regularly provides trend analysis and salary surveys using their extensive database to report on applicant attitudes, so identifying skills requirements to their clients. Yasmeen Stratton – Corporate Placement Director, comments: “Clients are demanding increased services from their recruitment partners. We have developed a range of added value services to assist our clients in managing their knowledge process to attract the most qualified and talented applicants. This includes managing initial applications by the web or phone, to the implementation of in-house psychometrics that identify the development potential of applicants and existing employees.” Asking Del Hunter, Performance Director, the direction the company will be taking in 2008, he was able to share some of the company’s current thinking. “On the back of our outstanding growth in vendor managed services we are targeting another £2m of growth in this area alone. We are also increasing our investment in our international network, targeting China and India.” Jeff Johnson, Director Technical services, discusses current projects he is involved with: "One of the major initiatives is the number of SSR consultants that have embedded in key clients,” Johnson states. “In 2008 and 2009 we shall be working with one client on 150 vacancies in the Australasia region with our consultants working in our client’s regional offices. The year 2007 has been a busy one, bedding down a number of key acquisitions that will really come on stream during the coming year.” As French concludes: “Our wish is to be that integral key in our clients’ human resource programme and add value in their approach to market.”

We have the ability to span the whole video surveillance spectrum with a commitment to new technology emerging through Vicon’s in-house development resources. Never before has that commitment been more prevalent than it is today as we introduce our latest and most significant enhancements yet with the introduction of Version 4 of our ViconNet video management solution.
Date Established 1967 Clients Vicon extensive list of clients have a variety of requirements from a simple stand-alone camera/DVR installation, through to a networked DVR installation, to a full IP Video network video system.

Version 4 sees the arrival of the ViconNet Virtual Matrix Controller. In short this product facilitates the control of video over IP and when combined with the KRX-3 decoder your ViconNet system will simulate full matrix control. The enhancements to ViconNet through Version 4 and in particular the introduction of our Virtual Matrix Controller, proved no small undertaking and it is an expression of Vicon’s strength in depth as a manufacturer that the commitment and evolvement of our traditional product lines has vigorously continued. Following hard on the heels of our highly successful IXION camera range has been the launch of our I-ONYX IP cameras. All three models in the range - super high resolution, wide dynamic and day/night versions are all equipped with a Power over Ethernet (PoE) option. In addition our world famous Surveyor dome range has benefited from several enhancements underscoring its position as the fully functional dome camera of choice for so many sales channels throughout our global markets. Our 4, 8, & 16 channel Video Digital Recorders (VDRs) have enjoyed exceptional sales growth over the last twelve months and now produced in MPEG4 format, the Vicon VDR range provides an extremely cost effective solution for the small to medium size application. Like all other Vicon products (of which there are over 400), support, service and training have been the bywords of our business and the cornerstone of our success. Vicon continue to bridge the gap created by an unprecedented technological change in the industry between IP digital and the traditional analogue solutions that, some might say surprisingly, still predominate. Wherever video surveillance takes you this year, whether you are an end-user, installer or distributor, we wish you every success and please be certain that Vicon products and people are just a phone call away.

Videor Technical SECURITY PORTFOLIO
Profile
Company Details
"Videor Technical – Your Source for Professional Video Technology" Videor Technical is one of the leading European distributors of professional video technology. The company, founded in 1975 and based in Rhein-Main, initially made a name for itself as the exclusive agent for top Japanese manufacturers such as Fujifilm and Fujinon. Both of these bases were progressively consolidated in the following years, and the product range expanded. The name Videor Technical soon became synonymous for high-quality video technology and professional services among experts. The new Central Warehouse with its ingenious storage system and 24 hourservice were inaugurated in 1988.
Date Established 1975 Expertise/Products Distributor for video technology: Components, integrated systems and solutions from over 30 manufacturers, such as Fujitsu, JVC, Bosch, Fujinon, Axis, Pelco, Dallmeier, AG Neovo. Clients Security and imaging (worldwide), broadcast (D/A/CH) Specialist areas Quality Standard DIN EN ISO 9001:2000.

In the 1990s the company established itself as the specialist for video technology in the broadcast and CCTV sectors, and in the security business field it offered everything that secured banks, industrial sites and chain stores against unwelcome guests: CCTV cameras, monitors, recorders, lenses and operating devices are only a part of the product portfolio. In the broadcast sector the company focussed on private and public television stations and film production companies, dealers and system houses. Its products included digital video and signal processing goods. And not to forget, it by then it was also the German General Agent for Fujinon and Fujifilm. In 2002 Videor Technical was awarded EN ISO 9001:2000 certification and secured growing market shares primarily in the Security Sector. Its numerous exclusive agency agreements allowed the company to present itself as the one-stop shop at that very front among providers of the state-of-the-art. Videor Technical continued its expansion through product presentations, training courses and services with the inauguration of the ComCenter in 2004 and TechCenter which will open in early 2008. Regularly offered courses keep customers up to date with the latest technological trends. The third business area of imaging has also been added with products for industrial image processing. As in the security and professional business areas, the imaging sector also promises growth, which is why Videor Technical has been exclusively marketing FESTO Open Source Smart Cameras under the "eneo SC" brand since 2007.
