Counter Terror Protective Security Conference
A robust set of protective security measures remains key to deterring and defeating terrorist attacks. Environments such as mass gatherings, transport networks and busy public spaces represent attractive targets for terrorist organisations and must be secured accordingly. Internationally there is a growing demand for lessons to be learnt from previous incidents and a need for proactive, legally enforceable measures to be taken. Here in the UK, the emerging Protect Duty, also known to many as ‘Martyn’s Law’, refers to a new piece of proposed legislation which advocates that protective and preparatory measures should be considered to make the public safer at openly accessible locations. Public safety is no longer just the responsibility of the security services, first responders etc. An integrated approach must now be taken, one that leverages the private sector, its people and resources to help prepare for and mitigate terrorist threats when they arise.
