| Security Guards – London Extremist Threat McKenzie Arnold Security UK Ltd. |

Security Guards in London have stepped up in response to the extremist threat. Security guards in London hotels are expected to pro-actively meet the extremist threats that the attacks in Mumbai have highlighted. The government is renewing the emphasis on the hotel trade, that they should be alert to the threat of terrorism. By hiring expertly trained security guards, London hotels can help safeguard their property and reassure their clientèle. Industry experts in hotel and catering have said that the threat of terrorism should be a necessary part of routine health, safety and security training given to all hotel employees. By having highly trained security guards, London hotels can feel more confident in their day-to-day workings, but the threat is so significant that Sean Wheeler, group director of people at the Malmaison and Hotel du Vin hotel chains said: “There is a need for hotels to be more cautious, particularly in some of the big cities. I don’t want my staff to be heroes and it is important they know their limitations.” Trained Security Guards, London Hotels Although having staff on high alert, trained security guards are the professional way forward for hotels. Simply having security on the hotel door can make a huge difference. The fact that the government has said it hopes to train 60,000 civilians as part of its counter-terrorism measures demonstrates the seriousness of the threat. The killings in Mumbai have focused attention and efforts on improving the security of the tourist and hotel trade, especially in London which has been targeted in the past and remains vulnerable to extremists. London – A Capital at Risk The Home Office plans to roll out a training programme of three-hour workshops that train civilians into reacting appropriately in terrorist-attack situations. It is important that everyone is aware during times of heightened security alerts in London – security guards can help improve peace of mind for both hotel staff and clientèle alike. Although Islamist terrorists in the past targeted London's tube and transport systems, there has been a global trend of extremists focusing on hotels, from the notorious IRA attack aimed at Margaret Thatcher in a Brighton hotel to the more recent atrocities in Mumbai.
