The City Wide Security Strategy A Consultative Approach November 2003

INTRODUCTION In 2002/2003 an Audit of Security Services in the City of Salford took place. The audit focused on the condition of the services. The audit looked at static guarding, mobile patrols, alarm response and technical systems. The Audit was commissioned so that a strategy for the management of security in the City of Salford could be formulated. This is an opportunity to influence a way forward for the strategy.

No generic systems of performance monitoring Duplication of effort Non-compliance with current legislation Guarding contractors do not perform well SECURITY AUDIT No standard specifications for equipment or performance Some equipment is failing There is limited regular maintenance
