Norbain SD announces that Norbain LIVE04, the series of regional trade events scheduled to take place across the UK in September, will include a co-ordinated programme of seminars by leading industry speakers at every venue.  The seminars will cover three topics:

1. A presentation by Professor Martin Gill based on unique research into the way criminals view potential crime situations
2. The newly launched and potentially nation-wide police initiative, Raid-control
3. Synthesis of these presentations by Norbain’s Ian Fowler.

Professor Martin Gill is Professor of Criminology at the University of Leicester and a Director of PRCI - Perpetuity Research and Consultancy International, which is a spin-out company from the University.  Professor Gill has carried out numerous interviews with convicted criminals, and as a result has been able to put together a "criminal’s eye view" of premises and situations, designed to spot loopholes in security systems.  Professor Gill’s experience in this field is unrivalled, and his presentation at LIVE04 is a unique opportunity for all attendees.

Raid-control is a very important police initiative aimed at reducing robbery and creating a safer retail environment, and is based on five key crime reduction principles: staff trained in raid awareness; time-delay systems in use; cash minimised; cameras in operation; and stolen cash traceability. Raid-control is aimed primarily at deterring crime, but can also generate evidence to convict criminals if a robbery does occur.  A police force can certify that premises are protected to Raid-control standards, after which retailers can display the Raid-control logo, which gives the clear message that their store is not an easy target for crime.  The police themselves will make this presentation at LIVE04.

Ian Fowler, Technical Training Manager at Norbain, is an acknowledged industry expert on the application of security technology to crime prevention and detection.  Ian will bring together the themes of the two previous speakers, presenting his views on how concrete applications of security technology can address the issues raised.

Ian Fowler explained "the effective use of security technology is about more than equipment selection – it is about its optimum deployment.  To achieve that the system design needs to be based on the details of identified threats and risks, and to address them specifically.  That means considering the technology in the context of the total security activity and its objectives.  I am very pleased that these important subjects are being presented at LIVE04."
