Brian Sims, Editor of Security Management Today writing in SMT Online News Analysis quotes First Security’s MD, Mike Crump in article ‘G20 Summit provides stern test for security services’. Under the heading ‘View from the private security sector’, Brian writes:‘First Security (Guards) is one City-based solutions provider that has lived through the atrocities of 7/7 and been forced to cope with demonstrators trying to disrupt some of its clients’ operations.

There is contingency planning, of course, and preparation might be described as being of two kinds.”Crump continued: “The immediate – or event-specific – where we have been working with our clients and the relevant authorities to secure the position against the threat posed by these protests. The second is longer term and more general, but still critically important, and emanates from the continuous development of our security officers’ skills in unison with our overall incident management capabilities.”Brian’s full article can be read athttp://www.info4security.com/story.asp?sectioncode=11&storycode=4121995&c=1
