Event Security: Tips for Organisers

More security guards in London may be needed to cope with the increased threat of 'domestic extremists'.

The issue of security is a growing one all over the world. And in the UK, there could be a need for more highly trained security guards in London. London is an obvious target for extreme terrorists from abroad, but a Confidential Intelligence Unit (CIU) has been set up to monitor a threat much closer to home – the Left-wing and Right-wing political groups who they believe could be a security threat to the nation.

Step up Security Guards - London Security Experts

London is home to countless high profile businesses, political parties, campaigners and religious groups. As the capital and seat for UK parliament, it's the focus for countless protests and demonstrations. It's not surprising that there is such a high demand for skilled security guards in London. The news that a Confidential Intelligence Unit feels it needs to spy on potential domestic threats is disturbing. The unit will use surveillance techniques to spy on a range of targets. From the environmental protesters who take disruptive, direct action to potential ring-leaders,  who could be behind the violence triggered across a range of political protests such as the anti-Israel protests in London recently. They will even 'spy' on those who take part in unlawful industrial action. The unit's techniques have upset many human rights' activists concerned about protecting civil liberties. The move however highlights that the security risks in the UK continue to be challenging – more companies and businesses could seek out highly trained security guards in London.

Security: A Climate of Fear

The fact that the UK needs a 'counter subversion' unit, similar to MI5, underlines a growing culture of fear in London against extremists and radical campaigners. Security guards in high profile London locations are already common. But there has been a general move away from any domestic threats in recent years due to the security threat of Islamic terrorists. But it's now thought that the CIU will be working with the private sector to help stamp down on any threats to public disorder and safety caused by 'domestic extremism'. The CIU will be a subvert organisation, which is why it's kicked up such strong concerns. But the counter argument is there is a need for increased security measures throughout London and the UK.
