Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM.

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation.

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team.

Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides.

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment.

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems.

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team.

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM. My remit will be to provide that advice and work with our clients to ensure they are prepared and resilient, while proposing solutions that work with their budgets and within their operational parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024), is proud to announce that the company is now certified as a Member of the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association (PSSA), confirming our professional approach to specifying and installing hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) equipment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSSA is the well-respected trade association for manufacturers and installers of high-security perimeter protection products and equipment, including tested and certified HVM systems. Organisations must go through a robust application and vetting process to be assessed as either an Installer Member or a Manufacturer Member of the PSSA, and SAFECROWDS<\/a> has passed the thorough acceptance process with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory McGoldrick, Founder and Director of SAFECROWDS explains: \u201cAt SAFECROWDS, we have the expertise to provide Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments and Vehicle Dynamics Assessments to inform correct and proportionate specification of HVM systems, along with the experience to install certified solutions in as tested configurations to maximise their performance while supporting operational efficiency and normal crowd flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembership of the PSSA provides third party endorsement that this is the case, giving our clients \u2013 new and existing \u2013 complete confidence that we have the tried and tested capabilities they need to keep people, property and assets safe and secure with trusted HVM systems from a reliable and professional partner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS added counter terrorism security and HVM services to the company\u2019s extensive security services portfolio because large venues, events, and stadiums are becoming increasingly aware of the terror threat and the need to mitigate the risk of an attack. Developing partnerships with a number of industry-leading manufacturer and distributor partners from around the world, including SafetyFlex and ARX Security, the company has developed an enviable reputation for providing a complete counter terrorism and security service, which includes SIA Licensed security guards, covert security, stewards, K9 explosives and pyro detection dogs and handlers, facial recognition technology, and consultancy, as well as HVM specification and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rory continues: \u201cOur experience in the security industry means we have the specialist understanding to consider terrorism and security risks holistically and offer a joined up services to clients. Part of the vulnerability of a venue, stadium or event is the level of security in place, and, by offering a coordinated service across the security and counter terrorism protection requirement, we can ensure all aspects have been considered and are complementary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of SAFECROWDS\u2019 PSSA membership follows the company\u2019s presence at last year\u2019s International Security Expo in London, where it was the HVM sponsor, with equipment installed at the entrance to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have already demonstrated our expertise amongst industry peers at ISE and for a wide range of football clubs, venues and events,\u201d Rory adds, \u201cso it\u2019s great to have our PSSA Membership certificate to confirm those credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SafeHaven CISM is delighted to return to the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), Olympia 24-25 September 2024 for the fourth year, where it will showcase its Psychological Crisis and Disaster Response Services on stand A70\/10 - SCEG Pavilion.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by psychologists, SafeHaven's Membership plan and App offer a suite of services that provide private and public organisations with comprehensive, robust and flexible solutions\u2014compliant with international standards and best practice guidelines\u2014to care for the psychological welfare of people after a critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SafeHaven Membership Service provides ready access to response services and expertise 24\/7, 365 days of the year, no matter where and when. Core membership services support both the employer and the employee in the minutes, hours, days and weeks following an incident of acute trauma to one or multiple employees. From the outset, SafeHaven support organisations in building the incident response strategy that will guide both organisation and impacted individuals through the incident from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018kick-off\u2019 consultation and assessment allows SafeHaven to identify and tailor appropriate resources to meet an organisation\u2019s specific needs. A dedicated operations procedure is then established, agreeing key steps and response hierarchy ahead of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership of the service provides a range of tools, resources and access to guidance and support for staff and management across the year, as well as pre-, mid- and post -critical incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service builds on the success of the SafeHaven App, which ensures that employees know what to do to help themselves and others in the vital first few hours and days after an incident or personal crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the App available around the clock, 365 days a year, but at the touch of a button, it connects users to UK based in-house mental health experts, trauma counsellors and therapists for in-person support when needed. Both immediate, trauma responsive psychosocial support and longer-term psychological sessions can be accessed and arranged confidentially by the user with the SafeHaven team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, dedicated \u2018Hubs\u2019 provide a wealth of expert psychoeducation, including wellbeing videos, playlists, tutorials and guides. This rich depth and variety of expert psychoeducation creates the opportunities for long term behavioural change that reduces stress, anxiety, and really boosts the user\u2019s ability to manage their own mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A management portal helps organisations to tailor, roll out and manage access to the App. This intelligent system provides valuable management information about the health of the workforce, enabling the SafeHaven team to offer guidance on future initiatives, interventions and mitigation measures to stop crises before they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Copeland, Managing Director says: \u201cAt SafeHaven, we understand the importance of swift, appropriate psychological guidance and support in transforming recovery from physical and emotional distress. The psychological welfare of individuals ripples out to teams and ultimately impacts organisations as a whole. That\u2019s why we not only created an app that goes so much further than others in the mental wellness space, but also a Membership scheme that allows organisations to build a retained response to critical incident trauma into the Duty of Care element of their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Security Expo (ISE 2024) exhibitor, Highway Care, has announced the launch of the BOSS system, manufactured by its partner, Stuer-Egghe. Visitors to the show can find Highway Care on stand E100.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS has been developed with input from Highway Care\u2019s technical team. The lightweight, surface-mounted HVM system has achieved ISO 22343-1: V\/7200[N3C]\/48\/90:24.0 certification and is designed for ease of deployment. A compact design enables The BOSS to be transported in the boot of a car, and, with components weighing just 8kg each, the ultra-lightweight, surface-mounted system can be installed by a single operative within minutes, without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BOSS stands for Barrier On Strong Spikes, it is designed to prevent vehicles up to 7.5t travelling at speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) from entering the protected area while reducing impact to the vehicle occupants. Unlike police stinger devices, which only puncture the tyres, allowing the vehicle to continue moving, The BOSS works by also inhibiting the vehicle\u2019s wheels and axle, utilising the spikes to capture the wheels and prevent them from turning. The system is comprised of a robust mat with the eponymous strong spikes pointing outwards, which brings the vehicle to a controlled stop without causing debris which could scatter to cause injuries, these spikes are covered by 3D printed covers to protect pedestrians from injury while passing by.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each complete three-metre tested array consists of six strips with revolutionary stopping technology, two brandable tent covers, eight simple locking mechanisms, and three coupling plates. The 8kg components fit together to create a system with a total weight of less than 70kg and two storage compartments are also provided with the system for easy transportation. A single operative can install the protection in just a few minutes, transport it to site easily, and move or reconfigure The BOSS as the work area changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway Care\u2019s Commercial Director, Ben Duncker, explains: \u201cAs we look forward to the introduction of Martyn\u2019s Law, those responsible for the safety of events, venues and public spaces are looking for HVM solutions that can protect people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in the highways sector, vehicle incursions into the work area is a serious problem that is putting the lives of road workers at risk on a daily basis and a viable, practical solution is needed to protect road workers while reducing the risk of harm to vehicle occupants and preventing debris causing a risk to onlookers or members of passing public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BOSS provides an effective response to all of these requirements, providing effective protection against vehicle attacks, errant vehicles, and vehicle incursions into work areas, while being designed with a particular focus on protecting onlookers from the trajectories associated with collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way The BOSS works to stop the wheels from turning, rather than by taking the impact of the vehicle, is a totally fresh concept in HVM design, and we believe this system has huge potential across both the highways and security sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unisto, exhibiting on stand E114 at the International Security Expo (ISE 2024), offers this blog focusing on security in the in-flight catering industry - \"a large and complex global operation responsible for serving billions of passengers every year.\"<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military precision is required to ensure that everything is ready for loading within tightly defined timeframes so that flights can depart on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major concern for in-flight catering and logistics providers is not only to ensure the safety and quality of all products delivered on board, but also to protect against any potential security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, plastic security seals have been used to secure the special high-lift trucks that allow trolleys to be rolled on and off aircraft quickly and efficiently. However, there have been increasing health and safety concerns about plastic fragments from discarded seals left on the ground at the aircraft loading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These relate to potential slipping hazards, as well as the potential risk of plastic fragments being sucked into aircraft engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is to use reusable electronic seals, which would eliminate the need for plastic seals altogether and provide a more sophisticated and secure solution that would deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Unisto has been delivering innovative electronic seal solutions that significantly reduce administrative man-hours compared to using plastic seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also help to speed up the overall logistics process, reducing the incidence of departure delays and minimising the risk of fines imposed by airlines for late deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, not only at London Heathrow, but at airports around the world, Unisto electronic seals can be found on the majority of vehicles that regularly travel airside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to grow our business with our Unisto<\/a> e-Guard Data Trans and Spire & myU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAFECROWDS, which is exhibiting at this year's International Security Expo (ISE 2024) on stand D90, has appointed former Thames Valley Police CTSA, Jon Neal, as its Head of Counter Terrorism and Risk Assessment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment responds to high demand for our 3600 approach to integrated security and counter terrorism planning and delivery, bringing much of the company\u2019s TVRA (Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment), VDA (Vehicle Dynamics Assessment), HVM specification, and counter terrorism training services in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and NPSA trained, Jon has both military and police experience, along with a degree in criminology and criminal law, which included a dissertation on intelligence failings in the run up to 9\/11. He is highly qualified and experienced to provide robust TVRA and VDA that consider a broad range of threats, including vehicle attacks, cyber security, vulnerability to IED and knife attacks, and online reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon is also an AET-qualified trainer with SCaN (Scan, Check and Notify) and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training experience, which will extend the course offering from our QNUK and Highfield accredited SAFECROWDS Training Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO of SAFECROWDS<\/a>, Rory McGoldrick commented: \u201cUp to now, we have been working with consultants to provide our TVRA, VDA and HVM specification services. Jon will continue to work with those professionals as our head of counter terrorism and risk assessment, including Mark Cavies MSyI F.ISRM RISC, a counter terrorism expert with 22 years\u2019 military experience and a UK government trained HVM design specialist, who has already carried out many of our TVRAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy employing a full-time member of the team with Jon\u2019s skills, knowledge and experience alongside our existing consultants, we are adding important resource, responsiveness and agility to the team. Jon also gives SAFECROWDS a risk assessment capability that takes a holistic approach to assessing all areas of threat, vulnerability, and risk, ensuring that we can highlight all potential security and safety issues, including those that sit outside our own services, such as cyber reconnaissance vulnerabilities, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his police background, to his training experience, and his track record as a key figure in the development of the Help for Heroes charity, Jon is an excellent fit for our business and our clients, and we\u2019re delighted to welcome him to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon was studying the US when the 9\/11 terror attacks took place. Witnessing the impact of the attack at close quarters influenced his studies and future career. Following training at Sandhurst and a period in the armed forces, Jon worked in the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit at Sussex Police and then in Specialist Operations at the Met., before becoming involved in Help for Heroes when the charity was in its infancy. He returned to policing in 2019, and has spent the past three years as a CTSA covering the Thames Valley region, advising on security for crowded places and Critical National Infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole career has been about making a difference,\u201d Jon commented, \u201cand my new role at SAFECROWDS means that I will be able to work with businesses, venues, local authorities and individuals who need support to develop and implement strategies for keeping people safer and making places more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we anticipate Martyn\u2019s Law, it\u2019s more important than ever that those responsible for crowded spaces have expert advice about the correct, proportionate steps to take to protect people; whether that\u2019s training their team, carrying out K9 explosives and pyro searches, or deploying HVM.
