Spectacular KNOW HOW

It has already become a tradition that during SECUREX fair are organized impressive shows. One of them was a spectacular assault on a bank convoy which took place before the eyes of pretty large audience and the media. The event was held with the participation of the Police and was preceded by the 3^rd Security Forum of Local Communities on the role of police uniform classes in the context of shaping teens’ civic attitude towards safety. The debate allowed for the exchange of experiences on existing for classes with police profile, a discussion on the need for improving their legal and organizational solutions. The Forum constitutes a cyclical initiative of the Provincial Police Headquarters in Poznań, Polish Platform for Homeland Security and Poznań International Fair.

In cooperation with the Polish Chamber of Security was on the other hand held a special action – code name VINCI. “Shows make the audience aware of what a security is, how it looks like in practice. Ordinary mortals see security systems and the end result. They do not see the course of events. And to protect their property is needed a whole range of processes, systems, hard work and technology” – this is what about the shows said Marcin Pyclik, President of the Management Board of the Polish Chamber of Security.
