Safe City: Harnessing Technology to Adhere to Martyn’s Law
Martyn‘s Law, more officially known as the Protect Duty legislation, is a proposed piece of legislation that is being backed by the UK government to improve the safety and security of public venues and spaces. There are estimated to be about 650,000 crowded places in the UK, of which only about 0.2% are prioritized to receive direct support from the state’s network of counter-terrorism experts.

Locks With a Panic Function
The ÜLock B locks from Südmetall provide security on both sides of the door – to protect human lives and valuables: there is always an escape route guaranteed by the panic function in the direction of escape. And the self-locking function ensures that the door is otherwise always locked. The lock has no parts that can be attacked from outside as the electronics are completely enclosed within the lock housing, and the lock itself has a high resistance to mechanical manipulation. The best possible encryption is used for data transmission between lock, RFID card and RFID reader – that ensures optimum protection against break-ins. Access control administration is through the license-free ÜManagement 2.0 software.

Accordingly, many fans are eager to return to the stands for upcoming football seasons. However, in many cases, significant changes are required to ensure the health and safety of fans.

Special Focus: Stadium Security in 2021
We have been holding sports events for thousands of years, where dozens of competitors and thousands of spectators come together to race chariots or formula one cars, to throw spears or javelins, to wrestle or see who can run the fastest, to play some ball game like rugby, hockey, baseball, tennis or soccer, or even to hear some musicians at work.

GIT SECURITY looks at some of the security products and solutions specifically conceived for stadiums, and others that add a lot to overall safety and security.
