Every operation that we deliver is based upon a thorough assessment of the potential risks, and then we plan the most effective ways to mitigate against them.
We wish to deliver our operation in a way that protects and secures, but does not intrude upon those people who wish to pay their respects.
We are hugely experienced in safely delivering high profile and ceremonial events in the Capital.
