Significant investment in security
Significant investment in security
The UK’s police service, of course, is both admired and emulated around the world. Our counter-terrorism strategy is similarly studied and copied. Put simply, our security and intelligence agencies are recognised as being among the best in the business (and with good reason).
The Home Secretary opined: “Our track record of hosting major events – from state visits and music festivals through to Premier league football matches and Royal Weddings is unparalleled – in fact, it’s one of the reasons we won the bid.”
Building on that excellent existing capacity, the authorities have duly made specific security investments to respond to the similarly specific security challenges posed by the Olympic Games.
“Over 95% of construction at the Olympic Park has now been completed on time and on budget,” urged May. “That includes the security side. High levels of protective security have been put in place at the Olympic Park, and security has been designed and built into the venues, making them safer both at Games time and when they’re used after the Olympics.”
