Civil unrest and Martyn’s Law: Award
Scan the horizon and it’s clear the security industry face two challenges: civil unrest and Martyn’s Law (Protect Duty). SIRV‘s Threat and Service Monitor helps security aware organisations address this challenge, as recognised by Security & Fire Excellence Awards 2022.
Organisation’s changing needs
Organisation’s threat profile is undergoing change. For example:
- They face a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environment (NB 6 January 2021, US insurrection).
- Must respond to a cost of living crisis
- Address their involvement in social issues
In addition, with the prospect of Martyn’s Law on the horizon, their attention turns to threat assessment in and around their publicly accessible locations (PAL).
