Following a pilot, the knife crime prevention programme (KCPP) is now being run by nearly 100 youth offending teams in TKAP areas. The programme is targeted solely at young people (aged 10 — 17) convicted of any offence involving a knife and does not replace the tough sentences imposed on adults or repeat offenders. Run by the Home Office and Youth Justice Board the programme consists of eight modules including — attitudes towards carrying a knife, the legal implications of buying knives, impact of knife wounds including images, and talks from victims or their family. Alongside these tough messages, the young people are provided with support such as help leaving gangs, advice for managing anger or self referral pathways for those who feel threatened.

With just a week to go until the General Election, the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has urged politicians to think carefully over the future of R&D tax credits, claiming that they are "essential to economic recovery." The tax relief - worth £790m in 2008 - is currently available to businesses of all sizes in exchange for the continued development of new technologies. While both Labour and Conservative parties had previously planned to scrap the tax relief entirely, the Conservatives - under the guidance of technology entrepreneur Sir James Dyson - have now outlined plans to maintain the credits, but for small businesses only.

Residents urged to fight anti-social behaviour with neighbourhood watch scheme Read More...

RESIDENTS living in a street plagued by anti-social behaviour are being urged to join a neighbourhood watch scheme. Police Community Support Officer Sandra Brommell is sending out a stern warning to yobs behind the string of attacks in Drummond Road. She is also appealing to people living in the area to join a neighbourhood watch scheme in a bid to stamp out the problems. Locksonline News

Over recent years new threats to domestic security have emerged, focussing on attacks to the lock cylinder. These methods have been utilised by locksmiths for many years to gain entry to premises. However knowledge of these techniques has become more public over recent years, largely due to being broadcast via the internet, instructing how to carry out these attacks and obtain the basic tools required. Attacks involve twisting and breaking of the cylinder or extraction of the cylinder plug. Both methods that can be performed using simple tools obtained from any hardware store and require little skill to execute. Another type of attack is "bumping" and requires the use of a “bump key” specific to the type of cylinder. This technique requires skill and dexterity but leaves no signs of forced entry or damage to the lock. These forms of attack can be protected against by specifying a cylinder driven single point lock conforming to the latest editions of BS 3621:2007 (key egress), BS 8621:2007 (keyless egress) and BS 10621:2007 (dual mode). However these standards do not apply to multipoint locks, which are fitted to a high percentage of new and refurbished dwellings. Currently multipoint locks can only be tested as part of a complete doorset assembly to PAS 24:2007. Hence when a multipoint lock required replacement in an existing door, there was no standard available to guide the locksmith or consumer in selecting an individual lock, to ensure the same degree of security was maintained. This has led to the development of a new series of standards. PAS 3621 is one of a series of three standards being developed by the Door & Hardware federation (DHF) to set out requirements for multipoint locking assemblies. In each case the standard document number and function are related to that of single point locks, for example PAS 3621 has been developed as a multipoint equivalent to the BS 3621 single point lock standard. PAS 3621 subjects locks to the same types of attack as BS 3621 and ensures they offer similar resistance to a number of cylinder attack methods including bumping, snapping, picking and drilling. The introduction of these PASs means there are common security standards covering single and multipoint locks for all types of doors. Cylinder kitemarked lock cases and multipoint locks will include a kitemarked cylinder to BS 1303. Anti Bump Euro Cylinders

Report says 'No-Arrest policy' generates 'overwhelming' benefits for local traders Read More...

In February 2009 Taunton Retailers Against Crime launched an experimental 'No Arrest' policy among its members. Now TRAC has published a report detailing the results of the project. "Members who employed the tactic have seen a vast improvement in their loss figures" it says. Most crime is committed when the fear of apprehension is not present but the available opportunity is. So the 'no arrest' approach is based on the theory that if a person, known as an offender or not, is acting in a suspect manner then sales or security staff should approach that individual and offer assistance, thus reducing the likelihood of crime instead of picking up the pieces - and the costly bill - after a crime has been committed.

One of the biggest home security mistakes people (a lot of people!) make is to have a "hide-a-key" located near their door. Putting a key to your house--where your family lives and most of your worldly possessions reside--three feet from your door just isn't wise. If you think professional burglars don't know to look under the door mat, above the door frame, or under that little rock next to the path, you're wrong. The most obvious fix for this home security problem is not to have a spare key laying around. If you're truly concerned that someone in the family is going to lose the key and not be able to get into the house, it makes sense to install something like this number pad door lock.

Following the British Security Industry Association's (BSIA) recent research into crime in the recession, the Association's Access Control Section is highlighting the benefits that users can gain from access control technology. The BSIA's research revealed that security remains a key investment for UK plc despite the difficult economic climate with 92% of respondents retaining the same level of investment. In a summary report of the research findings, access control was featured as a popular security measure among the respondents. BSIA Access Control Section Chairman, Mike Sussman, comments: "The research report makes for interesting reading and whilst it is encouraging that 83% of respondents haven’t seen an increase in crime or fear an increase, it is worth noting that 14% of respondents are looking to invest in access control as a security measure in the near future and 56% of respondents have an access control system in place at present to provide security." "There are many benefits of using an access control system. Increased security and point of entry to sites, buildings and rooms are the obvious ones but there is also visitor monitoring, automatic number plate recognition, integrated security and increased bottom line through operational efficiencies that makes the technology worthwhile."

Social networking sites have become easy prey for identity thieves. But don't worry; specialist website identitytheftfixes.com has got some tips to keep you safe while you socially network! Learn how identity theft occurs with networking sites and ways to prevent identity theft from happening to you. The work is being done and the word is getting out Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute studied 12 social networking sites and their practices regarding their users. The 12 sites studied were Bobo, Digg, Facebook, Friendster, Hi, Imeem, LinkedIn, LiveJournal, MySpace, Orkut, Twitter, Xanga. From this study, the researchers learned that social networks are leaking user's personal information to third-party tracking sites. Personal information is information that traces an individual's identity either alone or combined with other public information. How do thieves get your personal information? So, you're wondering, how exactly do identity thieves steal your personal information from your Facebook or Myspace page? That is a common question and one that's not too obvious to people who aren't computer nerds. Research shows that the networking sites tag each user in order to access the user's personal profile -- necessary for the operation of the site. The problem comes in when third-party tracking sites obtain the user's tag and tracks the user. This happens quite easily when a social networking site communicates with third party tracking sites through banners placed on the user's screen; this also communicates the users tag. The third party now has the user's tag and access to their personal profile. How can you prevent this from happening to you? To prevent identity theft, follow these tips: -- Limit the amount of personal information you put on your profile. -- Only list information that is necessary to socialize with your friends. -- Don't list personal information like your home address, phone number, or birthday -- Use the network's privacy controls -- Restrict your personal information only to your closest friends -- Use browser security to refuse third party cookies According to Consumer's Reports, approximately 13% of social networking site users have had some violation of their personal information. Take steps to prevent identity theft by following the tips above. Your social networking site should be fun; keep it that way and prevent identity theft. www.identitytheftfixes.com

Public spending on CCTV is worthwhile to secure public safety, is the response of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) to a recent online report highlighting concerns over the rise in the number of CCTV cameras controlled by local councils over the past decade. In its report, published in December, Big Brother Watch - an offshoot of the Taxpayers' Alliance - questions the effectiveness of CCTV in deterring or solving crimes, an inaccurate assessment according to Pauline Norstrom, BSIA CCTV Section Chairman. Pauline comments Thankfully the reality of CCTV in Britain is not the doom-laden picture that is painted by this report. Time and again the police take advantage of CCTV images to reconstruct events, identify offenders and make high-profile calls for public support in their enquiries. Our range of CCTV

An important change to the future of the Chubb locks brand in 2010 has been announced by ASSA ABLOY and Locksonline is now working closely with them to make sure customers are reassured and kept fully informed

In a move that may surprise many customers, the Chubb brand will be replaced by other leading ASSA ABLOY brands on most locks and secondary security products by August 2010.

However ASSA ABLOY is stressing that the locks will continue to be manufactured and readily available and only the name will change.

The news comes following the end of negotiations over licensing agreements between ASSA ABLOY and UTC, the American multinational that owns the Chubb brand.

UTC is well known for its fire safety and manned guarding business, which also uses the Chubb brand, and took the strategic decision not to renew the agreement with ASSA ABLOY.

ASSA ABLOY manufactures and sells locks branded as Chubb under two UTC licenses. The first started in 2000 and was for 10 years, expiring in 2010. This covers the majority of Chubb branded products sold by ASSA ABLOY. The second licence is for specific custodial products and will not expire until 2100.

There is a special website at Chubb At Heart which will have the latest news and there is also a video answering the main questions on the same site or visit ASSA ABLOY and click on the Chubb logo on the home page.
