Any system made by man has some inherent rate of failure. It’s going to be an untenable situation where there is a zero tolerance for failure. A couple of layers of mitigating factors could help. For example; in the military they have these things called random antiterrorism measures (RAMs) Typically, you would make a list of things you would like to see done and make your officers do them at random times on a schedule to be briefed daily. This helps break up the monotony and makes it harder to probe your security posture (your ability to respond to a situation within the means of your posts) These measures are practically free, because all you have to do is figure out your measures, and provided the guidelines. The measures can be as simple as, “The officer assigned to this post should talk to three people on their post today.” They can be as complex as “three officers will set up a checkpoint (if legality allows) and check for firearms. Typically all of these would be logged in the dispatcher logs, and whatever logs your officers do. Glad the staff was ok, hoping for the recovery and change of heart for the perpetrator

A new command vehicle for the German Böblingen fire department 💪 The German district of Böblingen is pioneering in fire service infrastructure with its groundbreaking ELW 2 (Incident Command Vehicle). The ELW 2 stands out with its unique features, such as its ability to function as an incident command vehicle for communication and administration during major incidents and as a redundant control centre operating 24/7 - a first in Germany. We are thrilled to have brought this innovative project to life in collaboration with the Böblingen district. 👏 The vehicle features a lateral extension and can accommodate up to 13 individuals, all below a total weight limit of 16 tonnes. Inside, the trailer is divided into three rooms: A large meeting room with eight workstations, including media technology, an observation room for one person, and a radio/control room with four workstations. 🔥 As a mobile command centre, the ELW 2 is equipped with advanced control technology that allows for legally admissible continuous recording. The vehicle's impressive array of communication options, including TETRA BOS radio, TV, Ka-band satellite, IP satellite, and LTE, ensures seamless data and information exchange under all conditions. Two masts mounted on the rear of the trailer support additional tools such as a GPS antenna, weather station, and LED spotlights, enhancing the vehicle's versatility. A UPS built into the trailer provides consistent power during short-term outages, while a generator permanently installed in the tractor allows the trailer to operate autonomously during deployments. The ELW 2 offers flexibility in operation and stands out for simplifying workflows in the field while reducing daily operational costs through the possibility of dual use. ✔️ #Böblingen #FireServiceInnovation #IncidentCommandVehicle #EmergencyManagement #PublicSafetyTechnology #Publicsafety #CommandAndControl #BroadcastSolutions #Systemintegration.

Itajai ANTAQ is holding a public hearing regarding the bidding process for a specific area at the Port of Itajaí.   The National Waterborne Transportation Agency (ANTAQ) recently held Public Hearing No. 03/2024 on Tuesday, April 23. The purpose of the hearing was to gather feedback, recommendations, and input on technical and legal aspects related to an upcoming bidding process for the concession of operations at the Port of Itajaí.   The proposal envisions a significant investment of R$ 2.8 billion over nine years to expand the port's infrastructure. This ambitious plan also includes initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and operational improvements. The forthcoming auction is expected to boost the port's capacity, lower operational costs, and most importantly, create numerous job and economic opportunities in the municipality and surrounding areas.   The concession will also provide a structured framework for port activities in Itajaí, ensuring legal certainty for the region, increasing logistical efficiency in the southern region, and enhancing port competitiveness. Wilson Lima Filho, the reporting director overseeing the concession process, emphasized that the Port of Itajaí remains under singular public authority, and there will be no competing port authorities bidding for control.   Nineteen stakeholders participated in the public hearing and offered verbal contributions. Feedback can be submitted electronically through the designated form on the ANTAQ website until May 10, 2024. The legal and technical documents subject to public scrutiny will also be available on the ANTAQ website. Digital imagery such as maps, blueprints, and photographs can be attached to submissions via email if they are received by the specified deadline and include taxpayer identification.   If individuals cannot submit feedback electronically, they may do so using computers at the Agency's General Secretariat (SGE) in Brasília/DF or its Regional Units, with addresses available on the ANTAQ website.

💡 🚨 Safety on the road starts with understanding and following basic driving rules. Standard procedures learned in Close Protection courses or even basic driving courses can save your life. We all forget sometimes and get distracted; however, I believe that if we take some things seriously, we can be better prepared for worst-case scenarios. When with a client, we are more vigilant, but we should always use best practices. Here are some essential tips that I believe would have made a huge difference in the case of this video, and any other similar incident that needs management: ✅ Hold the Steering Wheel Correctly ⏰    - Use the 10:10 position for optimal control and response time. This positioning allows better maneuverability and safety. ✅ Maintain a Safe Following Distance ↔️    - Keep a safe distance between your car and the vehicle in front of you. This gives you more time to react if the car ahead suddenly stops. ✅ Stay Sober and Alert ⚠️    - Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Ensure you are well-rested and alert while driving. ✅ Practice Defensive Driving 🛑    - Be aware of other drivers and anticipate potential hazards. Always be prepared to react safely to avoid accidents. ❓ What other basic rules would you consider essential to keep you and your principal safe during emergencies such as accidents or attacks? #RoadSafety #DrivingTips #SafeDriving #DefensiveDriving #VehicleSafety 🛡️🚗💼 🎥 All rights and credits are reserved to respective owners

EVENT SAFETY AND SECURITY Major #event #security is an ever-more critical and complex practice.  As more nations take up the challenge of hosting the world’s biggest sporting and live events, there has never been a greater need to share knowledge and experience in the safety and security field.   “Major event security is not an area for trial and error. It is our duty to ensure that the most effective practices for hosting these events in a secure way are thoroughly analyzed and widely shared.” Ultimately, whilst all events are very different, one thing always remains same.   In all countries, in all sports and in all events every person has a natural basic need for security and feel safe and secure.   All visitors, delegates, athletes, teams, talent and fans want to feel safe and secure, to be able to enjoy the event.   Of course the organizers also have an interest in a safely managed event. Not only for their reputation, but also for financial reasons, given the escalating value of marketing and TV-rights. However, security should not become an end in itself. Organising Committees must guarantee the highest possible security, whilst being mindful that people’s right to freedom should be affected as little as possible. The main guideline should be maximum security with minimum restrictions - as much security as required, with as few restrictions as possible.  Always in the background, security should not affect fans, athletes, spectators, talents enjoyment or participation in sporting and live events. Finally, a holistic, integrated approach is essential towards achieving a positive security legacy and one that is characterised by harmony, balance and the smooth synchronisation of balance between threat levels, security contingency, response and coordination between multiple stakeholders and agencies whilst securing the event and at the same time delivering a lasting memorable experience for all that attend or are involved.    Live Nation APAC Live Nation Entertainment Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Football Australia National Rugby League World Rugby Rugby Australia Mark Carrick Chris NCS⁴ Southern Miss.

🔍 Analyzing Travis Scott's Security Incident: Lessons for Close Protection Officers 🔍 A recent video of Travis Scott struggling to navigate through fans and paparazzi, while his bodyguard trailed ineffectively behind him, highlights several critical issues in personal security. This scenario underscores the importance of a well-coordinated and proactive approach by Close Protection Officers (CPOs). Key Issues Identified: 1️⃣ Lack of Team Coordination: 🤝 Effective security requires a coordinated team effort. The absence of additional team members to manage the crowd and create a secure path for Scott was a glaring oversight. 2️⃣ Ineffective Positioning: 🛡️ The bodyguard's position behind Scott rendered him unable to preemptively manage threats or obstacles. CPOs should lead or flank the principal, ensuring a clear path and immediate response capability. 3️⃣ Failure to Coordinate with the Driver: 🚗 Ensuring the vehicle is readily accessible and strategically positioned for quick extraction is essential. Lack of communication with the driver led to unnecessary delays and increased risk. Expectations for CPOs in Such Situations: 1️⃣ Advance Planning: 🗺️ Assess the environment and anticipate potential threats. Plan entry and exit routes meticulously to minimize exposure. 2️⃣ Clear Communication: 📞 Maintain constant communication with all team members, including the driver, to ensure seamless execution of movements. 3️⃣ Crowd Management: 👥 Employ tactics to manage and control the crowd, keeping the principal out of harm's way. 4️⃣ Proactive Positioning: 🛡️ Stay ahead or beside the principal to shield them from potential threats and facilitate swift movement. ❓ What do you think, did the CP fail colossally or is the internet overreacting? #Security #CloseProtection #RiskManagement #ExecutiveProtection #SafetyFirst 🎥 All rights and credits are reserved to respective owners
