Title – Student arrested over Canary Wharf photos

Stereotypes are used in every day life, literally every day. We make a judgement on someone within the first 6 seconds of seeing them. With the newspapers full of stories of Al-Qaeda, home grown terrorists, new nuclear powers, rape, theft, murder and drugs, we can sometimes be excused for jumping to conclusions. But for those of us working within the security industry, it is our job to make informed judgements rather then simply reacting to situations.
No one can make a judgement based on how someone looks, but we can make a judgement on someone’s behaviour, but a judgement is not only a first impression, we have to try at every available chance to get more information before we act to deal with a situation.
Those attending our Conflict Management and Resolution courses (CMR) and the National Certificate for Door Supervisors (NCDS), as well as many of our other courses learn about human behaviour, body language and the meaning behind them. Taking a picture of one of London’s landmarks is not unusual behaviour and not something that should raise too many eyebrows. It may be that the police have information that those working in the private security industry simply don’t have access to. The security industry does however have a vital role to play alongside the police to support them and needs to be aware of as much information as possible both locally, nationally and internationally.
The law in the UK allows for those working within the security industry to maintain order in their venues. Those who understand the law and work within it, can use it to their advantage and enjoy a higher rate of success, then those that ignore rules and think they are either a private police force or outside of the law.

Our courses allow individuals attending to make decisions based on all information available to them and not on simple first impressions and negative stereotypes.
