Secured By Design

The UK Police flagship initiative supporting the principles of designing out crime, effective crime prevention and security standards for a range of applications.

 

The Secured by Design Developers Award is given to building developments that incorporate the design-out-crime and physical security features identified in the Secured by Design guidelines.

 

Secured by Design Police Preferred Specification Security Product Licences are given to companies for security products which pass standards and tests nominated by the police service. These include security for the built environment, vehicle location and tracking, secure alarm communications, asset control and other crime prevention products and services.

 

The project supports the Home Office key aim, to reduce crime and the fear of crime and one of the Government’s key planning objectives, the creation of secure, quality places where people wish to live and work as outlined in Government Guidance Safer Places – The Planning System & Crime Prevention.

 

Research shows that Secured by Design can reduce burglary and car crime by 50% and criminal damage 25%.

 

Details of these projects and your local police contact on this subject may be found on the Secured by Design website www.securedbydesign.com.

 

Secured by Design is supported by the Association of Chief Police Officers and managed by ACPO Crime Prevention Initiatives Limited.
