It will be attended by 80 Designing Out Crime Officers (DOCOs), who work closely with architects, developers, and local authority planners to encourage the incorporation of effective crime prevention strategies during the planning phases of new constructions and significant refurbishments.
These strategies include adhering to a range of standards such as PAS 24, which guarantees that doors and windows can withstand various methods of attack; TS007, which testifies that cylinders will provide maximum protection against drilling, picking, and snapping; and TS008, which proves that letterplates will prevent intruders from gaining access to the property or retrieving keys and other items.
With the rise of smart home technology, Secure Connected Devices (SCDs) have also become an important part of crime prevention.
Designed to be integrated into the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, they enable property owners to monitor and manage their security systems remotely, providing an added layer of protection and convenience.
In addition, indicative tests are a key component of Secured by Design.
They subject products to rigorous conditions, simulating attack methods to evaluate their performance – and therefore enabling property owners to feel confident that their products will withstand substantial force and manipulation.
Each ASSA ABLOY brand will give product presentations on their key Secured by Design-approved products, from TS007 3-star cylinders to smart home devices.
Following this, the DOCOs will receive a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) certificate that they can then use towards their CPD hours.
The roadshow will also include tours of the ASSA ABLOY sites at Willenhall, Cheltenham, Daventry, and Carlisle, with the latter including a demonstration of how it has reduced the plastic used in its outbound packaging by 90% in the last 12 months.
Hazel Goss MBE, Development Office at Secured by Design, comments:
“The best way to prevent crime is through quality, cutting-edge design, and our DOCOs have a key role to play in this.
“That’s why we’re excited to be teaming up with ASSA ABLOY to spread awareness of their Secured by Design-approved products across the industry.”
Jo Rush, Marketing & Commercial Director, Residential at ASSA ABLOY, adds:
“We’re delighted to partner with Secured by Design for this roadshow.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for ASSA ABLOY brands to present our latest Secured by Design accredited products to the DOCOs and ultimately develop their confidence in our brand and products.
“The roadshow promises to be exciting, memorable, and highly interactive for all the DOCOs involved.”
