Anti-Terrorism and Risk Reduction

"Terrorism casts its evil shadow across the globe - yet the world's resolve to defeat it has never been greater"

U.S. Secretary of State, Colin Powell

We live in dangerous times when innocent lives are the currency of conflict and scores are settled in unexpected, devastating ways!

With weapons easily obtainable throughout the world, acts of violence against individuals, corporations and the state can and do occur at unexpected times and unexpected places, even in schools where several instances of violence and even murder have occurred from discontented individuals with a knife, gun or other weapon smuggled onto the premises.

Threat

Today we face international terrorism on a global basis, from large international organised groups to small extremist cells and even from embittered individuals, in every country of the world and the tragedy of the 9/11 World Trade Centre disaster has brought realisation of this fact very much to the fore.

The risk of violent acts or terrorist action can however be substantially reduced, if not eliminated, by the implementation of appropriate security measures not just by state governments but also by society as a whole, by corporations, businesses, organisations and individuals, etc. Appropriate security measures will of course vary from case to case but very often the cost of implementation is minimal, whereas the cost of inaction could be catastrophic.

Westminster offer an extensive and wide range of products and solutions to counter such risks.

Westminster specialists would be happy to discuss suitable protective measures for any given situation or risk.

Security has never been so important!

Metal and Weapon Detectors

Walk-Through Detectors

Walk-through metal and weapon detectors are extensively used to provide security to buildings and secure areas by scanning individuals for weapons and contraband as they pass through the detection gate.

Most people will be familiar with their operation in airports, government buildings and banks, etc. They are increasingly being used with great effect in shops, offices, theatres, nightclubs, sports stadiums, etc., indeed anywhere there are concentrations of people or where the risk of an attack is a possibility.

Westminster offer a wide range of walk through detectors including the advanced multi-zone WTsX with auto-calibration programmes.

Hand-Held Detectors

Hand-held metal detectors, whether used on their own or in conjunction with other scanning systems such as walk through metal detectors, are an inexpensive and invaluable aid to the provision of security at the entrance to buildings and secure areas.

Westminster can offer a wide range of hand-held detectors to suit almost any situation from simple easy to operate scanners to deep search mine and contraband detection devices. Westminster can also provide discreet pocket-sized scanners, which can easily fit under a suit, for close protection and other door security staff or scanners which vibrate only for more covert operation.

X-Ray Baggage Scanners

The drive to counter terrorist activities has led to significant advances in baggage x-ray scanning techniques and today there is a wide range of very sophisticated scanning devices to suit all applications, from a simple manual package scanner for use with a low volume of parcels to fully automated lines offering extremely sophisticated scanning and sorting of parcels, packages and containers.

Westminster can offer a complete turn key solution to scanning requirements providing product advice, supply, installation, commissioning, training and maintenance as well as the complimentary services of metal, explosive, narcotics and radiation detection.
