Contract Home security Talk A SAFETY FIRST APPROACH Secured by Design was first created in 1989 to reduce crimes in areas and help homeowners feel safer. Now, over 30 years later, it is still proving to be the ‘go-to’ initiative to help protect Secured by Design is the official police security initiative that is owned by the UK Police Service, with the specific aim of reducing crime and helping people live more safely. It was created in 1989 following the housing boom of the 1960s-1980s when there was a huge and urgent demand for housing, with estates being built quickly and often cheaply without any basic security. This resulted in a significant rise in burglary and in response, the Police Service set up SBD to combat this. vulnerable products such as windows and doors. Total Installer finds out more... SBD seeks to improve the security of buildings and their immediate surroundings to provide safe places to live, work, shop and visit. SBD works closely with builders, developers, local authorities and registered housing associations to incorporate its police crime prevention standards into developments from initial concept and design, through to construction and completion. Police forces throughout the UK actually have specially trained Designing Out Crime Officers (DOCOs) who offer police designing out crime and SBD advice free of charge. Over one million homes and commercial properties have been built to SBD standards with reductions in crime of up to 87%. A number of local authorities have even gone so far as to introduce SBD standards as a planning requirement. Critical to improving the physical security of buildings and the surrounding area is the use of products such as doors, windows, locks and walling systems and fencing systems that meet SBD’s security requirements. SBD developed a product based accreditation scheme over 20 years ago – the Police Preferred Specification, which provides a recognised standard for all security products that can deter and reduce crime. SBD work with manufacturers and standards authorities to ensure that security standards are current and updated to keep pace Secured by Design aims to reduce crime by improving home items vulnerable to break in such as doors and windows with emerging crime trends. The Police Preferred Specification scheme requires all security products to meet or exceed the performance expectations documented within the relevant security standard for that type of product. It ensures that the product is sufficiently robust to resist physical attack by casual and opportunistic criminals. The SBD focus is on the critical factors that combine to deliver a product’s performance - design, use, quality control and the ability to deter or prevent crime. Providing reassurance Products that have met the Police Preferred Specification provide reassurance to the specifier, purchaser and user that their products have been independently tested to a relevant security standard and fully certified by an independent third-party certification body recognised by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), or tested and certified by an alternative approved body such as Sold Secure or Thatcham. Better quality means these products last longer too, making them more cost effective and leading to greater sustainability in crime prevention. Indeed, SBD can be used by those operating in the housing sector as evidence to discharge their third-party obligations under Part Q of Schedule 1 (Security) to the English Building Regulations, the Scottish Building Standard 4.13 (Security) and Welsh Building Regulations Part Q (Security – Dwellings). Everyday Police DOCOs are working closely with the aforementioned builders, developers, local authorities and housing associations to incorporate SBD’s police crime prevention standards into buildings. This work to improve the physical security of buildings involves the use of SBD accredited products, which is the reason that so many door and window companies are seeing huge benefits in SBD membership. There has been a significant growth in demand for advice and requests for details of companies that have membership with SBD, which has been evidenced in the increased traffic to the SBD website and the reported increased sales of SBD member’s products. The police service signpost customers looking for security products to www.securedbydesign.com, where a comprehensive list of the many hundred companies that produce the products that meet SBD Police Preferred Specification can be found. Each SBD member company has its own page on the SBD website, which contains full details of the company, their full contact information and a detailed list of all their SBD accredited products. SBD represents a powerful, trusted police brand which inspires greater public confidence in products and is the only way for companies to obtain police recognition for security-related products in the UK.
