Landing on desks and through letterboxes and into email accounts is the February 2022 edition of Professional Security magazine. As ever it is the indispensable read for anyone with an interest in private security in the British Isles, whether for news (such as the latest from the Manchester Arena Inquiry) or for things to think about more generally in the sector.
You can read it freely and previous monthly editions on the ‘magazine‘ section of the Professional Security magazine website.
And as ever there’s something for whatever your line of interest in private security; whether as consultant, or installer or manager: whether physical; manned guarding; electronic, networked or cyber; or you cover a particular sector. We look ahead to the first Easter annual conference of the association for heads of campus security, Aucso, since Aston in 2019; at Leeds in April.
We also cover the threats and responses to crimes, such as fraud and violence against women.
We major on guarding, talking to an SIA-approved company; running our eyes over the 1960s fashions and equipment of the then premier company in the field, Securicor; and raising some of the questions that might not crop up in training or on the curriculum of the course to pass to apply for an Security Industry Authority licence, but are unavoidable when doing many security front-line jobs: how to manage if the work is repetitive or downright boring; and what if you’re at work in a public space and someone comes up to you and offers a fist-bump – do you fist-bump back?
Plus regular features such as magazine MD Roy Cooper’s gossip page for and about distributors and manufacturers of security products and services; four pages of ‘spending the budget’ and four pages of new products and services.
