Secured by Design (SBD), the national police crime prevention initiative, had a continual flow of visitors to their stand throughout the 2018 International Security Expo at Olympia London on Wednesday28 and Thursday 29 November.

SBD was among the many exhibitors at the flagship security show, which attracted over 350+ exhibitors, 1000+ product launches, and over 12,500 international buyers and influencers from Government, CNI, Law Enforcement, Military, Major Events, Transport & Borders, Cyber Security, Facilities and Public and Private sectors.

SBD’s stand attracted a lot of interest, with a steady stream of visitors to the stand wanting to find about SBD’s coveted Police Preferred Specification, as well as the security, safety and crime prevention work which SBD is involved in across a range of sectors.12

SBD is a police-owned organisation that works on behalf of the Police Service throughout the UK to deliver a wide range of crime prevention and demand reduction initiatives.

SBD has many partner organisations, ranging from the Home Office, Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government and the Police Service through to local authorities, housing associations, developers and manufacturers and work closely with standards and certification bodies to ensure that their publicly available standards actually meet the needs of the police and public alike.

Products must be subjected to vigorous testing and auditing by an accredited third party organisation before being allowed to carry the SBD logo – this is the only way for companies to obtain police accreditation for security related products in the UK.

A number of SBD member companies were at the Expo, including Burton Safes, CLD Fencing Systems, Dormakaha, ERA Home Security, Frontier Pitts, Gallagher Security, HERAS, Jacksons Fencing, Meesons A.I, Lochrin Bain, Selectaglaze, Selectamark & Warrior Doors.
