London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Safety and Security
Strategy
What is the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Safety and
Security Strategy?
On 21 July 2009, the UK Government published its London
2012 Olympic and Paralympic Safety and Security Strategy, which
identifies how it will achieve its promise of delivering a “safe
and secure Games in keeping with the Olympic culture and
spirit”.
As well as setting out its key principles for ensuring Olympic
safety and security, the Strategy considers how these specific
security challenges fit with the wider threats facing the UK, an
issue the Government dealt with in its National Security Strategy, which was updated in
June 2009.
In light of the Strategy’s five key focus areas – protect;
prepare; identify and disrupt; command, control, plan and resource;
and engage – VEGA has published an article considering the many and
varied security challenges facing the Olympic
Park specifically. In particular, the article focuses on the
need to prepare, especially with an expected 10 million people
visiting the Olympic Park throughout the six weeks of the Olympic
and Paralympic Games.
In ‘Olympic Park Security Challenges –
Modelling the complex to inform practice and preparation’,
VEGA’s Alan Rowe, an experienced Enterprise Architect, explores the
sophisticated modelling techniques that can be applied to address
the many security challenges facing the Olympic Park.
How can VEGA support objectives of the London 2012 Olympic and
Paralympic Safety and Security Strategy?
VEGA has a wide range of services and many years in-depth
experience addressing the varying security challenges in government
and defence - markets where planning is key and failure is not
an option. Our Enterprise Architecture services allow the UK MOD to
visualise and understand its extant
capability which, as a result, improves its decision making to
inform capability acquisition, technology insertion and operational
requirements.
This knowledge and expertise allows VEGA to deliver model-based
security solutions to the Government and associated agencies
including the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and
Paralympic Games (LOCOG), the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), the
police service, and all other key delivery agencies.
